sourced exclusively
FROM THE NOBLE forêts exceptionnellesFrom the Forêts Exceptionnelles of Tronçais, Bertranges, and Bercé to the Centre-France region, we take great care in sourcing the finest French oak to use for our barrels.
ideal seasoning
Our French oak seasons for a choice of 36, 30, or 24 months at our company owned stave mill located in the Northeast of France. Generous rainfall and marked seasonal climate shifts create the perfect conditions for the oak to mature with grace.
Through this natural seasoning, tannins gently soften within the oak. It is in this quiet, patient transformation that the wood reveals its full aromatic promise - ready to provide the utmost elegance to your wine.
European and American oak, adhering to the same strict sourcing and seasoning guidelines, are available upon request.
