Located in Charente, outside of Cognac and with over 30 years dedicated solely to the design and manufacture of large oak vessels, our cooperage is well experienced in the production of wooden tanks of up to 500hL in capacity. For shipment to ANZ we offer sizes from 10-70hL, fully assembled for immediate use. Purchased mainly from state forests managed by the ONF (Office National des Forêts), all our oak is certified as PEFC. After the trees are harvested, we cut long planks of 54mm and 65mm thickness which are then naturally open air dried for a minimum of 4 years. Having discussed the exact requirements of your project (end use, choice of accessories, site constraints) our in-house design team will make a drawing following the complete specifications in conjunction with our artisan coopers. A clear description, detailed drawing and a quote are all provided for you to sign before we commence production. Once approved, the precise construction work begins.

We offer great tasting American Oak barrels from the Saury Sonoma Cooperage in California. Oak is sourced and seasoned in the forests of North-East America and then toasted using our long slow toasting methods to bring out delicious aromas of dark chocolate and mocha. Our coopers finish the toasting with a higher temperature to deliver a savoury palate profile which marries perfectly with the sweetness of quality American Oak. There’s no coconut here, think vanilla, chocolate, sweet oak and spice!
