Chateau Laguiole Grand Cru Amourette Corkscrew

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Based on 5 reviews

The Chateau Laguiole® Grand Cru series was created to meet the rigorous demands of professional wine service. While maintaining the elegant silhouette of the original 1993 design, the Grand Cru models feature reinforced heavy-duty bolsters and a more robust construction designed to uncork over 20 bottles a day for years of service. Like every authentic Chateau Laguiole, this piece is 100% Made in France.

Handle Character: This Grand Cru model features a handle crafted from Amourette, also known as Snakewood. This rare, exotic hardwood from South America is among the most sought-after woods in the world, legendary for its natural, snakeskin-like dappled patterns and extreme density. The highly figured grain and reddish-brown hues provide a sophisticated, high-tier aesthetic that feels substantial and luxurious in the hand.

Snakewood aka Amourette (Brosimum guianense) is a gorgeous wood that originates mostly from Brazil's Suriname valley.
The part sold as snakewood is really the heartwood of the much larger tree. This wood is usually felled with axes and carried on the backs of natives over streams and through jungle areas.
Each tree felled is monitored, the Brazilian government has developed a strict permit process to control harvesting. The name was inspired by the snakeskin-like markings that decorate this exotic wood.
Initially deep red in color, snakewood changes color upon being exposed to air, making the wood eventually turn reddish-brown, as you see it today.

Since 2020 all genuine Château Laguiole corkscrews come with a registration card to be validated online. This is the only assurance of their authenticity and warranty.
