The Fontenille Pataud Laguiole Magnum Sommelier Corkscrew in poplar burl combines the spectacular grain of stabilized wood with a professional mechanism and the excellence of traditional French cutlery.
Entirely handcrafted in Thiers, the historic heart of French cutlery, the Laguiole Magnum Sommelier Corkscrew in poplar burl is an exceptional wine instrument. Its generous lines, precise mechanism and carefully executed details reflect craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Its sculpted handle is crafted from stabilized poplar burl, a material prized for its rich patterns and naturally irregular grain. The stabilization process strengthens the wood while preserving its distinctive natural character. Because every fragment displays its own tones and figuring, no two corkscrews are ever perfectly identical.
Fontenille Pataud’s patented long, single-piece two-step lever makes cork extraction easier by distributing the effort progressively. The curved, ergonomic handle rests comfortably in the hand and encourages a smooth, controlled movement throughout the opening process.
The fine, tapered worm opens easily through the notch integrated into the handle. It enters the cork effortlessly without causing excessive expansion. The Sandvik 12C27 stainless-steel foil cutter features a traditional cutting edge that slices the capsule cleanly without tearing it.
The hand-chiselled spine of the spring and the iconic bee, forged from solid metal rather than welded, demonstrate the attention devoted to every finishing detail. Complete with a leather case, numbered certificate and presentation box, this Laguiole Magnum is a remarkable piece to give, collect or pass down to a new generation.
