Since 1926, L’Atelier du Vin has been designing tools dedicated to the rituals of wine, created to accompany moments of tasting and elevate the art of wine enjoyment. To mark its centenary, the Maison unveils the Oeno Box Connoisseur – Centenary Edition, a prestigious wine accessory box that embodies a century of craftsmanship, creativity and uncompromising standards.

Entirely handmade in France, in the pure tradition of fine cabinetmaking, this luxury wine box combines solid maple wood with birch plywood. Precision joinery, elegant lines and refined finishes reflect the meticulous attention paid to every detail.

The lid is adorned with an original watercolour painting signed by artist Catherine B. Richard, individually created for each box. Variations in colour and brushwork make every piece one of a kind: no two Oeno Box Connoisseur editions are alike. Numbered from 1 to 100 and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this limited edition affirms the artistic and heritage-driven identity of the Maison.

Designed as a collector’s item, the Oeno Box Connoisseur – Centenary Edition is intended for discerning wine lovers and aesthetes with a passion for beautiful objects. It expresses a vision of wine where gesture, material and design matter as much as function—true to the spirit of L’Atelier du Vin for over a century.

The world of wine, gathered in one luxury wine box

Inside the box, L’Atelier du Vin’s emblematic tools are perfectly arranged to accompany the opening, serving and preservation of still and sparkling wines. The set includes: Bilame Silver, Oeno Motion Silver & Wood, Le Garçon, Cork Opener, Wine Thermometer, Universal Wine Developer with base, Gard’Vin On/Off Metal, Bubble Cork Silver, and Silver Bottle Stopper—a complete ensemble designed for a refined and controlled tasting experience. A dedicated compartment is also designed to hold a bottle of wine or champagne, extending the pleasure of the moment.

Wine tools included

With this theme as inspiration, Margherita Matticari dreamt up Le Plateau and worked alongside our Studio to bring the creation to life.

Far more than a mere object, Le Plateau is a performance space where the Art of Enjoying Fine Wine takes center stage. The curtain is drawn with the opening of each bottle. Every glass plays its part and contributes to elegant and joyful moments to be shared together.

Let us set the scene: Le Plateau on the timbered terrace of a Venetian palazzo. Murano in the distance. A late summer afternoon. Time in a bottle.

Act I: The Object as a Volume.

Le Plateau is a piece of minimalist architecture. It was designed not simply as an object but as a creation of pure volume – an important nuance that makes all the difference in turning elegance into a true experience.

Act II: The Finest of Woods.

Made from only the finest cherry wood – carefully selected and crafted without artifice by our approved craftsmen – the base of the tray is slightly raised. This creates a floating effect, as though the stage for your glasses and bottle were levitating.

Act III: The Twist.

Where there’s a stage, there’s a backstage. If Le Plateau is the main stage, its two drawers take you behind the scenes where the magic happens. In fact, Le Plateau’s game of hide-and-seek with its two subtly concealed drawers is one of its most unique characteristics. One drawer is made of yellow lacquer and houses ten handmade leather coasters. The other is made of blue lacquer and contains five essential Wine Tools for any tasting ritual – all presented on a thick, full-grain leather mat and held in place by discreet wooden inserts. Each drawer opens effortlessly thanks to a clever push and pull mechanism. The choice of colors was no accident, with shades of luminous yellow and deep blue that bring the noble wood to life in stark relief. As the perfect finishing touch, the silver reflections of the Wine Tools light up the whole creation.

Act IV: Slice of Life.

For the pleasure of connoisseurs and collectors alike, Le Plateau naturally finds its place on your coffee table, near the fireplace, in the kitchen or cellar, on the sofa, in bed, and even on the deck of a three-masted sailboat or a traditional Venetian bragozzo.

Let the tasting begin. Salute!

Paris-based Italian designer Margherita Matticari offers an authentic and unique vision that combines innovative design with outstanding craftsmanship. The result? Functional, elegant and timeless objects that are made to be used. Made for life. Geometry marks Margherita’s second collaboration with L’Atelier du Vin, after her exceptional design of the Nomad Collection in 2021.

Geometry: Is it a gift box or a sculpture?

Actually, it’s both! Our vision behind Geometry was to create a box/sculpture piece. Serving as a box, Geometry opens to reveal the iconic L’Atelier du Vin corkscrew, Oeno Motion Gold. At the same time, whether open or closed, Geometry is a sculpture and work of art in its own right.

The Geometry of Wine in a Designer Corkscrew Set

Just as wine is enveloped in a bottle, this stainless-steel bottle opener is encapsulated in a timeless, beautiful black lacquered wooden sculpture. Inside the minimalist box lies an oenological treasure of exceptional craftsmanship: the Oeno Motion Gold corkscrew, ready to open a fine bottle of red, white or rosé wine.

Its foolproof mechanism enables to effortlessly extract the cork, much to the delight of wine connoisseurs. This prestigious corkscrew, complete with a foil cutter discreetly located in the inner side of its jaw, provides a good grip and solid support on the neck. Simply push the lever down to plunge the worm into the cork and pull it up to effortlessly extract it.

Remove the corkscrew from the bottle and repeat this movement to release the cork from your authentic sommelier tool, in preparation of your next tasting experience. This back-and-forth movement is reflected by the subtle sliding motion of the sculpted Geometry box, which opens and closes like a tribute to the art of revealing and hiding, or the ancestral secrets of wine making.

Oeno Motion Gold Geometry, an Exceptional Corkscrew

This powerful bottle opener, a technical and ergonomic masterpiece that encapsulates the art of living wine, was designed to last, as an heirloom to be passed from one generation to the next.

Oeno Motion Gold stands out from the other corkscrews in our wine accessory collections for the impression of power and grandeur it conveys both visually and physically.

Chaque pièce métallique de son mécanisme a été soigneusement étudiée, dessinée, renforcée, perfectionnée par nos designers et ingénieurs jusqu’à trouver l’équilibre parfait entre robustesse de l’outil, fluidité du geste, fiabilité de l’ouverture et charme du design.

Adapté à tous les formats de bouteilles et de bouchons, cet ouvre-bouteille à levier de collection propose une ergonomie différente du tire-bouchon sommelier, du limonadier, du bilame, de la vis sans fin ou encore du tire-bouchon à double levier, au moment de déboucher un flacon rare.

Aussi imperturbable que rassurant, Oeno Motion Gold Geometry est le tire-bouchon de référence en cas d’extraction délicate : un accessoire indispensable lorsqu’il s’agit de déboucher une bouteille de garde patiemment portée à maturité dans votre cave à vin. Il est ainsi particulièrement apprécié des sommeliers, œnologues, cavistes et amateurs de vin exigeants.

The Geometry set, designed by Margherita Matticari, will also delight collectors and lovers of wine and art, in line with the rare corkscrew sets and collector bottle openers created by L’Atelier du Vin, a French manufacturer of wine tools from father to son since 1926.

Poised in the center of the table to evoke the serving ritual of Michelin-starred chefs, the Oeno Motion Groom offers a sublime way of uncorking legendary grand crus and exquisite champagnes. Under an eye-catching hand-blown glass dome with a genuine leather cord and a cross-cut walnut wood base, Oeno Motion Groom brings together L’Atelier du Vin’s iconic Wine Tools: the Oeno Motion Silver & Wood, our highly esteemed corkscrew with vertical lever, the Cork Opener for delicately opening fine bottles of champagne and other sparkling wines, and the Chromed Metal Foil Cutter, a sommelier’s tool in hardened steel with two circular blades for cutting through foil in one fluid sleight of hand. Each piece is handmade and unique. The base of the Oeno Motion Groom includes a space for storing and displaying up to twenty-two corks from the collection – perfect souvenirs from your favorite tastings, however intimate or grandiose. Each set is individually numbered beneath the base, highlighting the unique character of every creation.

Oeno Motion Trésor is a unique gift. At first glance, it is presented in the form of a mysterious wooden box, lacquered in a subtle red. Its fine high-definition laser engravings evoke the modern aesthetics of an antique chest. To the expert eye, the L’Atelier du Vin stamp reveals the mark of a precious oenology case.

Upon opening the box, a sudden wave of emotion emanates from within, as the centrepiece is unveiled. There, gently nestled inside, lies an authentic vertical lever corkscrew from the Oeno Motion collection, ready to open exceptional bottles.

Handcrafted in its entirety, revealing a superb satin patina, this intuitive wine tool beckons to be used during a wine ritual. The curved lever, covered in solid walnut, perfectly embraces the ergonomics of the opening mechanism, particularly appreciated by oenologists and sommeliers for more than 15 years. The wood’s grain texture makes each model unique.

Over the years, technical improvements have been made to this infallible bottle opener, which has become a reference accessory in oenology. The parts subject to wear and tear, such as the cogs, screws and slides, are made out of extremely robust and high quality metal, to withstand the pressure exerted upon it when opening a bottle.

Once the neck has been revealed using the built-in foil cutter, its steel spiral worm plunges into the soft cork to effortlessly extract it with great precision. This oenological gesture par excellence is perfectly executed in a steady, fast and smooth movement, a natural extension of the arm and hand.

By repositioning the Oeno Motion lever corkscrew in its collection case, a notch is revealed on the inside of the lid. Your tasting treasures will be safely stored there: grand cru wine labels, handwritten notes, silver-toned memories, clippings from wine magazines, unforgettable business cards…

Rare, to the point of bearing your signature, the Oeno Motion Trésor can be personalized on the lever of the collector’s corkscrew, engraved with the initials of the person to whom you will offer it for life.

Each piece is unique and handmade. Le Globe is made to be easily transported from the kitchen table to the living room by way of your wine cellar or backyard – bringing with it exquisite reflections to match the brilliance of your fine drinking glasses and bottles.
