Treuil French Oak Barrels & Puncheons

“It is almost a century since the Treuil Family and their coopers commenced at the Brive Cooperage the development of their knowledge and of this prestigious art. As part of the journey they developed their understanding of the best elements of oak, which in time replaced the local chestnut as the choice of wood to age great wines. They also came to understand the uniqueness of their typical ecosystem which gave special conditions to the seasoning of the oak in their wood park and then how these elements were transferred to the wine. The unification of all the elements continues to inspire the Master Coopers who each day shape the refined flavours of the oak. This signature makes the Treuil barrel, a unique ageing instrument with recognizable oenological contributions.”
