Tonnellerie D'Aquitaine

Tonnellerie D'Aquitaine

This family owned boutique cooperage offers classic elegant quality craftsmanship with a strong, innovative approach to match your winemaking challenges.

Tonnellerie D’Aquitaine barrels are known for their elegant characteristics. As a result of the long air seasoning and the slow toasting, Tonnellerie D’Aquitaine barrels are very delicate, and respectful of the fruit characteristics of the wine. Oak flavours are well integrated into the wine, thus enhancing the finish.

Our custom production allows best performances on either red or white wines. By selecting Tonnellerie D’Aquitaine barrels, the winemaker will offer to his wine the best barrel selection possible.
