I have no words for Fontenille Pataud but I'll give it a try.
In a world where a $4.00 (or free!) corkscrew can open a bottle of wine, why would anyone buy one costing hundreds of dollars? Simply put, because the respect you're already giving (or should be giving) the world's best winemakers and wine glass makers is perfectly complimented by the world's best corkscrew maker. Holding one of their objet d'art in your hand, you can FEEL the energy. You touch it and you're transported to their workshop in France. I don't even want to refer to FP as a company, it's a family that welcomed me from the beginning. From placing my order, to keeping my updated, to responding once I had it, you could not be in better hands. I will enjoy this piece until my dying day and pass this on to the next in my lineage who appreciates hand-made, history-backed, artisanal craftsmanship.
Thank you for your warm invitation, you bet I’ll visit one day!

Yann!
Thank you so much for my corkscrew.
I received it weeks ago but have been waiting for the right time to really appreciate it, take some photos and compose my gratitude toward you and everyone at the Workshop. Having my initials engraved is amazing. It’s actually subtle, almost you wouldn’t know they are there unless you looked and I love it that way. I just tagged the company on my Instagram — you have a customer for life!

The Magnum is my 4th knife from you the photos shown on your website never match up to the reality- they are always more beautiful in the hand ( the mark of hand made).
The Magnum is no exception every part flows into the other - I love the asymmetric sharpening on the blade and the corkscrew & lever work perfectly.
Many thanks from Leo (UK)

Hi Gilles,
the Sommelier knife has just arrived. What a beautiful thing. You must be very proud of it. I am very proud to own it and doesn’t even matter if it doesn’t get used (it will). I might do a drawing of it, sitting by a bottle of Bordeaux and a bunch of black grapes; maybe some cheese.
Thank you very much.
Bonne chance et bonnes vacance!

Dear Gilles and folks at Fontenille Pataud, The Laguiole Magnum with the special scales arrived this morning as I was talking with a neighbor on the front step. The craftsmanship is simply exquisite. The file work on the spring and the work on the bee are remarkable examples of steel art. I could not be happier. The neighbor will likely become a Fontenille Pataud customer. Best Regards

I truly LOVE the new Magnum wine opener! I have used different wine openers through the years. The Magnum out-performs every other and without question, it one of the most beautiful as well.
I highly recommend this product. It will exceed your expectations!
