The Fontenille Pataud Laguiole Magnum Sommelier in teak burl combines the beauty of wood with a distinctive natural grain, the precision of a professional mechanism and the excellence of French artisanal knifemaking.
Handcrafted in Thiers, the historic birthplace of French knifemaking, the Laguiole Magnum Sommelier in teak burl is far more than a corkscrew: it is an exceptional piece designed to accompany life’s finest tasting moments.
Each handle reveals the deep tones and naturally irregular patterns of teak burl. This distinctive material gives every piece its own unique character, enhanced by a polished finish and the generous contours of the curved handle. Its ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip and remarkable control when opening a bottle.
Fontenille Pataud’s patented long, single-piece, two-step lever allows the cork to be removed smoothly and precisely. Its fine, tapered spiral penetrates the cork easily without causing excessive expansion, while the Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel foil-cutting blade provides a clean, precise cut.
The hand-chiselled spring and iconic forged bee, rather than a welded ornament, reflect the meticulous attention devoted to every detail. Presented with a leather case, numbered certificate and presentation box, this Laguiole Magnum is a remarkable piece to give, collect or pass down through generations.
