Laguiole Heritage Sommelier Corkscrew
Product specifications
Wood
This folding lever sommelier relies on optimized ergonomics for grand cru enthusiasts. The hardened stainless steel worm features a fine helical geometry. This design reduces friction during insertion into the cork, thus preventing the cork from being pushed into the bottle or breaking. The support lever on the bottleneck provides a solid and stable pivot point. It allows for multiplying the pulling force in a straight line. The integrated small folding blade has a curved profile adapted to the shape of bottlenecks, ensuring complete removal of the protective foil in a single circular motion. This imported utensil has been validated by our teams for its mechanical resistance and aesthetic durability. The table below lists the technical information for this model. High-pressure resin-impregnated wood combines the visual beauty of natural wood grain with the technical resistance of polymers. This treatment makes the handle impervious to wine, water, and temperature variations, thus preventing the risk of cracking or tarnishing over time. Yes. Thanks to the sharp profile of its helical worm and the precise control offered by the support lever, you can precisely control your effort. This reduces the risk of crumbling old cork stoppers that have become more porous or fragile over time. Cleaning should be done exclusively by hand with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dishwashers are absolutely to be avoided. Aggressive machine cleaning could dissolve the protective resin of the wood and alter the articulation mechanism of the steel axes.
