Description

Handcrafted in Laguiole, France, this exceptional Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a rare Heart Fossilised Oak handle — made from ancient oak preserved over centuries. Its dark, rich tones and striking grain patterns evoke a sense of age-old elegance and quiet power, making each piece one of a kind.

Forged and assembled by a single master cutler, the corkscrew features a tapered spiral for effortless cork removal, a single-lever mechanism for smooth operation, and the iconic hand-chiselled bee — a hallmark of Forge de Laguiole’s heritage and authenticity.

A true collector’s piece, the Heart Fossilised Oak corkscrew is a tribute to timeless materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and the rituals that surround fine wine. Now available in Australia from the brand’s official importer.

Heart of fossilized oak is a rare and extraordinary material used for handles in Forge de Laguiole products. Sourced from the centre of ancient oak trunks, offering a unique and deeply rich character. At least 5,000 years old, it is the result of oak trees that have been preserved through natural processes over Millenia, creating a striking, dense material with an unparalleled history. The grain of fossilized oak is often complex, with beautiful dark streaks.

We carry a small, rotating selection of Forge de Laguiole corkscrews in Sydney, available for immediate dispatch.
