Chateau Laguiole Melchior Burled Walnut Handle

Product details for Chateau Laguiole Melchior Burled Walnut Handle Corkscrew

Named after the largest production wine bottle available (the 18-liter Melchior), the Chateau Laguiole® Melchior Series represents a modern evolution of the iconic waiter-style corkscrew. Handcrafted in Thiers, France, this model is a sophisticated variant of the Grand Cru series, engineered for professional durability while introducing a streamlined "full handle" aesthetic that omits the traditional bottom bolster. 100% Hand-assembled in Thiers, France.

Handle Character: This specific Melchior model features a handle crafted from Burled Walnut. This edition is distinguished by its tapered full-handle design, which elegantly widens towards the foil cutter. Highly prized by luxury artisans, Burled Walnut exhibits tight, swirling grain patterns and intricate "eyes" with rich, warm chocolate and amber tones, ensuring your corkscrew is a unique masterpiece of natural artistry.

Substantial Full-Handle Design

A defining characteristic of the Melchior series is its distinctive, flared full-handle execution. By widening towards the foil cutter and omitting the bottom bolster, the handle provides a much more substantial and secure grip. While the front of the corkscrew maintains the trusted engineering of the Chateau Laguiole Grand Cru, this streamlined silhouette offers an enhanced, highly ergonomic feel during professional wine service.

Included Black Sheath: Every Melchior corkscrew includes an authentic Chateau Laguiole black belt sheath. Crafted from meticulously chosen genuine cowhide by Max Capdebarthes in the village of Sauveterre de Rouergue, this sheath fits belts up to 2.5" wide and is designed to provide years of professional service.
