About the Corkscrew

The Chateau Laguiole Melchior (pronounced "mel-key-or") is the latest evolution of the famed brand. A variant of the Grand Cru series, this model has a wider full handle. 

The Chateau Laguiole waiter-style corkscrew was created in 1993 by Master Sommeliers Guy Vialis and was the first real waiter-style Laguiole-style corkscrew on the market. Since it debuted, the Chateau Laguiole brand has been the favorite among some of the world's best sommeliers and, to this day, is the most sold (and imitated) of all high-end waiter-style Laguiole corkscrews. All genuine Chateau Laguiole corkscrews like this one are 100% Made in France.
