Use
Use is the same as for the stave process. The infusion bag is slipped into the vat.
Depending on the size of your vat, several bags can be inserted.

- Recommended use of 4g/l or 400g/hl, i.e. 10kg for 25 hl
- This use is equivalent to 50% of a new barrel.

Oenological objective
The main oenological objective is to get as close as possible to the aromatic and gustatory structure obtained in barrel ageing, with fruitiness remaining dominant and woodiness in the background.

The second objective is to ensure good integration of the tannins.

Characteristics : 

  • Lorraine oak is a compact, fine-grained wood. 
  • Air-drying for 24 months eliminates unwanted tannins. 
  • Rigorous controls throughout the manufacturing process. 
  • Induction heating for consistent quality. 
  • Packaged in food-certified polyethylene bags. 
  • Available in 3 heating levels: M, M+ and M++.
