The Chateau Laguiole Beaumard honors Eric Beaumard, Silver Medalist at the 1998 "World's Best Sommelier" taste-off. The handle inlay is made from very tough, space-age carbon fiber material. The Foil Cutter blade on each corkscrew of this model is laser engraved with a unique serial number, identifying the individual corkscrew. Brushed steel boot lever and bolsters. Comes with Chateau Laguiole's own quality, leather snap case.
Chateau Laguiole "Master Sommelier" series honors winners of the "World's Best Sommelier" taste-offs, held every 3 years. Each winner is invited to Chateau Laguiole's workshops to select their "signature" corkscrew handle and leathercase. Master Sommelier series corkscrews feature graceful curved handles and realistic bees (see below, right) decorating the spines.
Manufactured in France, Chateau Laguiole synthesizes French savoire faire (know-how), good taste and the French art of living. MADE IN THIERS, FRANCE.
