The François Family

Oenological Design

Our wood is all made from oak from the most beautiful French forests. ISO 9001 certified since 2006, we ensure full traceability of the origin of our wood through a partnership with our historical suppliers. The maturation of the wood, depending on the thickness of the future staves, takes place in the open air for 36 to 60 months. From receipt of the logs to their entry into production, organo-chlorine analyses are carried out to prevent all sources of contamination. Furthermore, Foudrerie François favors a selection of fine to medium grains to ensure long-lasting oxidative and tannic exchanges. Finally, we pay particular attention to the choice of wood to combine aesthetics and oenological quality.
