Sensation
This barrel is designed to enhance the density of your wines and concentrate their aromas, limiting redox potential for a richer sensory experience.
For red wines, dark berry flavours are brought to the forefront, with hints of spices, pepper and even a dash of licorice.
For white wines, it highlights the fruit, preserves its freshness, brings a nice volume.
These aromas are all flavour enhancers which add depth and nuance to the fruit without overwhelming or weighing it down.
Expression

For red wines, its aromatic profile is an elegant yet indulgent blend of red fruits, vanilla and sweet spices, infusing your wines with a subtle woodiness and wonderful complexity.
For white wines, the “Expression“ barrel will emphasize fruit, bringing freshness and a nice minerality.

of 18 – 24 months of natural maturing in the open air.
Our aim is to offer you a high-quality range, suited to both red and white wines, representing the Garonnaise style by providing a soft and harmonious touch of wood, while respecting your wine.
