Product details for Chateau Laguiole Grand Cru Karelian Birch Wood Corkscrew

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 found in the Classic Collection, 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 rare Karelian Birch (also known as Masur Birch). Highly prized in luxury cutlery and woodworking, Karelian Birch is famous for its unique "marbled" or "flamed" appearance. The wood displays a warm, honey-colored background punctuated by distinctive dark grain flecks and wavy patterns, ensuring that no two handles are ever identical. Hand-finished to a smooth, silky luster, this dense wood provides a sturdy, comfortable grip and offers a sophisticated, organic aesthetic for the sommelier who appreciates rare natural materials.
