Named after the largest production wine bottle available (the 18-liter Melchior), the Chateau Laguiole® Melchior Series represents a modern evolution of the iconic waiter-style corkscrew. Handcrafted in Thiers, France, this model is a sophisticated variant of the Grand Cru series, engineered for professional durability while introducing a streamlined "full handle" aesthetic that omits the traditional bottom bolster. 100% Hand-assembled in Thiers, France.
Handle Character: This specific Melchior model features a handle crafted from Genuine Elk Stag. This edition is distinguished by its tapered full-handle design, which elegantly widens towards the foil cutter. Sourced from the solid tip of the antler, the Elk Stag handle features a rugged, organic texture with rich variations from ivory to deep mineral browns, ensuring your corkscrew is a unique masterpiece of natural artistry.
A defining characteristic of the Melchior series is its distinctive, flared full-handle execution. By widening towards the foil cutter and omitting the bottom bolster, the handle provides a much more substantial and secure grip. While the front of the corkscrew maintains the trusted engineering of the Chateau Laguiole Grand Cru, this streamlined silhouette offers an enhanced, highly ergonomic feel during professional wine service.
