The "Le First" model is a close replica of the first and only Chateau Laguiole that was launched in 1993. To everyone's surprise, including Mr. Vialis (the owner/creator of the brand) around 80,000 units were sold that year. Soon "Le First" was followed by many other models.

This newly redesigned bolster is a feature of the 2020 version. All genuine Chateau Laguiole corkscrews like this one are 100 % Made in France.
