Blade Corkscrew with Black Leather Sheath

Heir to an icon of the Art of Living Wine

In 1949, L’Atelier du Vin patented the Bilame — a unique bottle opener that removes a cork without ever piercing it. This precise and respectful gesture has since become a true signature for fine wine lovers. The Bilame Silver Signature carries this legacy forward. Directly inspired by the legendary Bilame Chrome, it retains the same exceptional mechanism, now enhanced by a sleek black leather sheath and an elegant presentation case — transforming it into an object that is both functional and precious. The pleasure of the gesture remains unchanged; only its setting has evolved toward an even more refined expression.

A preserved gesture, an undiminished pleasure

The two fine blades of the Bilame Silver Signature glide effortlessly between the cork and the neck of the bottle, without ever piercing or crumbling the cork. The cork remains intact, preserving the purity of the aromas and the finesse of the wine. This ingenious principle also allows the bottle to be re-sealed, extending the tasting experience in optimal conditions. An essential tool for sommeliers, it appeals to lovers of mature wines, collectors, and all those who know that the ritual of opening a bottle is an integral part of the pleasure of wine tasting.

The precision of design, the nobility of materials

Crafted from lustrous chrome-plated steel, the Bilame Silver Signature combines strength, lightness, and perfect balance. The visible mold lines or subtle variations in the chrome finish are not flaws but intentional details — a tribute to the original design conceived nearly 80 years ago, and a reflection of the artisanal character that has made this iconic tool renowned around the world.

Its genuine black leather sheath, tailored to fit perfectly, protects the blades while evoking the timeless elegance of classic accessories. Every detail is designed to endure — the comfort of the grip, the fluidity of the movement, the refinement of each curve. Beyond the tool itself lies a philosophy of wine: one that honors the gesture, the material, and the passage of time.

The Bilame corkscrew – Made in France

Proudly crafted in France, the Bilame embodies the historical savoir-faire of L’Atelier du Vin. From design to forging, every step of its creation is guided by precision and attention to detail, in keeping with French artisanal traditions. A true symbol of France’s enduring passion for wine, it is the result of meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations.

A Gift Box Designed for Connoisseurs

Presented in a sleek, refined case, the Bilame Silver Signature stands as a truly exceptional gift. To offer it is to share a part of L’Atelier du Vin’s heritage — but also an experience: that of a precise, timeless gesture, a suspended moment when the wine is opened with respect for its memory.

How to Use the Bilame Silver Signature

1. Slide the two blades on either side of the cork, starting with the longer one. 2. Gently rock the handle while maintaining downward pressure until the blades are fully inserted. 3. Pull the handle upward with a slight rotation — the cork releases effortlessly. 4. To reseal the bottle, simply replace the cork using the same motion.
