The "le First" is a replica of the first Château Laguiole model released in 1993. To everyone’s surprise, including Mr. Vialis, the brand’s creator, 80,000 units were sold in the first year alone.

In 1993, Master Sommelier Guy Vialis introduced the Chateau Laguiole® Classic, the first genuine waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew. Since its inception, Chateau Laguiole® has become a favorite among elite sommeliers worldwide and remains the top-selling and most counterfeited high-end waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew globally. Rest assured, all Chateau Laguiole corkscrews offered by Laguiole Imports, are authentic and 100% Made in France.

Included Black Sheath: The authentic Chateau Laguiole black belt sheath, favored by numerous waiters globally, fits belts up to 2.5" wide. Each sheath, crafted from meticulously chosen genuine cowhide, is produced by Max Capdebarth in France.
