"Bilame" L'Atelier du Vin and FELCO pruning shears

Exceptional tools, extraordinary gardens

Pinot Noir, Grenache, Sauvignon, Chardonnay.
A garden in the city or out on the farm. A French or English garden.
A secret garden. A garden to seek refuge.
For the new Vine to Garden collection, L’Atelier du Vin has drawn inspiration from the Champagne region and the most elegant gardens in France.
A morning among the vines. An afternoon in the garden.
Clear blue skies, the alluring scent of flowers in bloom, a nightingale’s song, a wrought-iron table. A bright white tablecloth to enhance the effect of sparkling crystal. When poised next to a bouquet of freshly picked roses or peonies, the L’Atelier du Vin x FELCO tool pouch elegantly displays essential tools of both wine and garden.

 

 

The Bilame: A Timeless Corkscrew Since 1949

The iconic Bilame twin-blade corkscrew is designed to remove corks cleanly, leaving them completely intact—even those that are old or fragile. Its ingenious design avoids piercing the cork, preventing any crumbling.

A French Bistro Legend

According to legend, the Bilame was the go-to tool for waiters in French bistros. With it, they could sneak a few sips from bottles and reinsert the cork seamlessly, leaving no trace behind.

How to Use the Bilame:

1. Insert the two blades on either side of the cork, starting with the longer blade.
2. Gently press and wiggle the handle to slide the blades down as far as possible.
3. Rotate and pull the handle to extract the cork effortlessly.

 

 

FELCO 2: The Benchmark in Pruning Shears Since 1948

In 1948, FELCO revolutionized pruning tools with the launch of the FELCO 2. Renowned for its durable design and precision, this Swiss-made tool has become an essential for both professional gardeners and hobbyists. Its quality craftsmanship ensures it’s passed down from one generation to the next.

How to Maintain Your FELCO 2:
Using the FELCO 903 sharpener:

1. Sharpen the blade with light circular movements on the flat side of the sharpener.
2. Remove burrs from the back of the blade and refine the edge to ensure perfect blade alignment.
