Product details for Chateau Laguiole Shinya Tasaki Best Sommeliers Corkscrew
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 authentic Chateau Laguiole corkscrews, like this one, are 100% Made in France.
The Shinya Tasaki Edition
This exclusive edition was created in honor of Shinya Tasaki of Japan, who earned the prestigious title of 1995 World's Best Sommelier. As a historic champion and a highly influential figure in global wine education, he is celebrated in the very design of this tool for his expertise and refined aesthetic.
Handle Character: Designed with direct input from the champion himself, this specific model features a striking split handle crafted from stabilized East Indian Rosewood and bright white Corian. Mr. Tasaki personally selected this distinct red-and-white color scheme as a beautiful salute to the red and white wines of the world. This deliberate pairing provides a weighted, luxurious feel and ensures your corkscrew is both a professional-grade instrument and a unique piece of wine history.
