err, what happened to the “more info…”
Looks very like what I found when as I prepared to open Oliver Leflaive’s Auxey-Duresses 2008…
More info did follow in several postings Philip.

Yes it’s an Ardea, first used in Burgundy by Olivier Leflaive in 07 I think. It might be the ideal seal, but it’s a nightmare to extract then doesn’t come off the worm of my corkscrew!
Bill — I’ve had no problem getting the Ardea off the corkscrew. Are you using a non-teflon corkscrew?
I habitually use two – I don’t know the name of the first – it’s a sort of waiter’s friend ‘updated’. The other is a (manual) screwpull which certainly has a PTFE coating, but the Ardea is still a nightmare to remove – with these bottles at least…
I use an uncoated steel opener for all non-cork seals and have no problem.
