Thank you Chateau Laguiole Asia for being the Argent Sponsor of Vietnam Best Sommelier Competition in French Wines 2020 🍾🍷🏆
---
The Chateau Laguiole classic was created in 1993 by Master Sommeliers Guy Vialis and was the first true waiter-style Laguiole 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 or counterfeited) of all high-end waiter-style Laguiole wine openers.
Sadly, Mr. Vialis, the pioneer of the Laguiole waiter-style corkscrew passed away in early October 2016. After several years of contractual issues the Chateau Laguiole brand was purchased and given a "new beginning". The concept as been revisited and the fonctions of this already amazing French corkscrew have been improved. The most notable improvements reside in the construction. The bee is now forged, in other words it as become an integral part of the spring-top. The liners, also know as plates are now thicker to prevent warping and the bottom bolster is now thicker and lost its two decorative lines. Chateau Laguiole are still mostly manufactured by hand in a new workshop located in Thiers, France.
