Our French oak barrels offer an elegant and balanced aromatic complexity, and a significant contribution to the wine's structure, providing finesse and length on the palate. The phenolic acids and ellagic tannins present in French oak wood are responsible for this unique contribution to the wine's structure. The selection of centennial oaks from the Allier, Nevers, Vosges, and Centre forests in France provides slow and controlled micro-oxygenation, thanks to the fine grain of each selected stave.

FINESSE

Technical Sheet

Air dried up to 40 months

Extra fine grain <1,5 mm

A high-end barrel developed especially for long aging periods. Thanks to its technical specifications, it ensures a better oxygen exchange rate, allowing greater tannin polymerization over time. Its slow and moderate oxygen transfer provides maximum aromatic richness, color stability, and texture in the mouth.

This barrel offers a significant, complex, elegant, and balanced aromatic contribution, with phenolic acids and ellagic tannins that significantly enhance the wine's structure.

Fine grain

Sourced from sustainably managed forests under PEFC certification, each barrel is carefully selected from the best French oak trees, over 180 years old.

The fine-grain oak porosity allows precise micro-oxygenation, softening tannins and developing complex aromas, while our barrel toasting refines the wine's essence. With a complex, elegant, and balanced aromatic contribution, our Noble barrels provide high-quality phenolic acids and ellagic tannins that enhance the wine's structure.
