NEW 2020 VERSION
Forged bee & reinforced structure
![]()
Chateau Laguiole was the first Laguiole corkscrew to be created, dated back 1992, by French Master Sommelier Guy Vialis. The first “sommelier knife” to have adopted and adapted the ancestral handcrafting traditions and symbols of the Laguiole master cutlers, including the famous bee and the art of polishing fine handles made of precious woods and horns. In addition, Chateau Laguiole provides a much appreciated after sales service and a lifetime warranty.
Special Edition: Eros Corkscrew is a special and limited edition of Chateau Laguiole representing the naked Nymph and Satyr engraved on each bolster. This erotic artwork is a reference to the Greek mythology. The nymphs were those goddesses of Nature of a rare beauty, daughters of Zeus, often associated to the fertility of soils, and often chased by the Satyrs, best companions of Dionysus, god of Wine. A symbol for wine makers and epicureans. The corkscrew it self is therefore made of vine stock for its wooden part, a symbol of longevity, stamina and strength (you get it !) with beveled brushed bolsters, long enough to appreciate the full erotic engravings.
Brand: CHATEAU LAGUIOLE, made in France
We recommend: Never wash the handle with water. Water will damage the precious woods and horn. To give back its shine or clear fingerprints, we highly recommend to use a microfiber fabric.
Personalization: Accesswine.hk provides an additional laser engraving service of a short text of your choice. On Special Editions Series, engravings can be only made on the lever (LEVER option). Read more detail in our Q & A.
Warranty: Chateau Laguiole offers a lifetime warranty. Accesswine.hk, official Chateau Laguiole dealer, will assist you in the process. Read more in our Q & A.
New 2020 model changes: in 2020, after almost 30 years of fame among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts, Chateau Laguiole revamps its mythic corkscrews for the better: a much-reinforced structure, a few visual differences worth noting and a new nice-looking gift box.
- Forged bee: the chiseled spring (central structure with decoration on the top) and the bee are now forged in 1 piece. As surprising as it sounds, the bee of Chateau Laguiole previous version was welded. Beside of a clean and clear aesthetic effect, it solves rare issues of the bee being broken after accidental fall of the corkscrew (fixed free under warrant).
-
The 2 plates just under the handle material are now thicker to seriously reduce the risk of dismantling the screw after years of use and hundreds of bottles opening (fixed free under warranty).
-
Stronger spring: at the bottom of the handle, the spring now slightly emerges to offer an additional protection to the handle from the screw when folding it.
- Thinner logo: visually, Chateau LAGUIOLE logo is now slightly thinner. It brings an additional touch of elegance.
- New gift box: the new genuine leather pouch of the Grand Cru & Classics series is as well better finished in our opinion.
Technical details:
- Stainless steel corkscrew + vine wood handle + brushed finish bolster + dented blade (foil cutter)
- Black genuine leather pouch
- Gift box + Warranty member card
