The "le First" is a replica of the first Château Laguiole model released in 1993. To everyone’s surprise, including Mr. Vialis, the brand’s creator, 80,000 units were sold in the first year alone.
In 1993, Master Sommelier Guy Vialis introduced the Chateau Laguiole® Classic, the first genuine waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew. Since its inception, Chateau Laguiole® has become a favorite among elite sommeliers worldwide and remains the top-selling and most counterfeited high-end waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew globally. Rest assured, all Chateau Laguiole corkscrews offered by Laguiole Imports, are authentic and 100% Made in France.
Included Black Sheath: The authentic Chateau Laguiole black belt sheath, favored by numerous waiters globally, fits belts up to 2.5" wide. Each sheath, crafted from meticulously chosen genuine cowhide, is produced by Max Capdebarth in France.
Horn Tip from domestic cattle. The tip of the horn is the hardest and most durable, Inferior horn handles are made from the bottom of the horn which will warp with time.
Note:The horn handle of the item your receive may not be totally black but rather have some lighter areas. If you are looking for an absolute black horn handle please contact us before placing your order. If one is available we will place it aside before you place your order.
Although the pre-2020 Chateau Laguiole classic charmed countless wine aficionados, it displayed certain limitations. The post-2020 version not only touts considerable improvements in the end product's quality but also features several striking visual distinctions worth noting.
Important note: When buying a Chateau Laguiole without a smooth bottom bolster (the section containing the foil cutter), you may end up owning one of two variants:
1) An older version of a Chateau Laguiole classic model.
2) A fake Chateau Laguiole reproduction made in China.
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.

The corkscrew is gorgeous--the touch of brass is stunning. But even more impressive was the customer service. I realized after I placed the order late at night that I had a typo in the engraving request. I sent an urgent email asking that they get back to me in the morning to ensure the engraving was correct before they shipped. The confirmation email was in by inbox when I awakened and the item arrived on time with the perfectly correct engraving. Fantastic job!!
