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.

Saury Classic is the original barrel produced by the Saury Cooperage. First crafted in 1873, Saury Classic stays true to its origins and provides the core components that all winemaker’s desire - fruit support, structure and length, with minimal toast influence - maintaining the cooperages original philosophy to “respect le fruits”.
Available in either French or American Oak, using a fine selection of wood from the forests of central France (for French Oak) and the forests of America (for American Oak), with minimum 3 year open-air seasoning at our wood park in Brive, and a choice of traditional fire bending of staves or bending of staves through hot water immersion.

Saury Bourgogne is an impressive Burgundian barrel offering a perfect balance of fine toast aromatics and textural finesse. Crafted exclusively with 3 year seasoned wood from a blend of centre of France forests and toasted using a large traditional Burgundy brazier, giving two very distinctive toast levels to match with your Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz or Syrah and other wine styles as you prefer.
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!
Dating back to the early 1700's, Tonnellerie LEROI was originally founded as the exclusive cooperage for Martell Cognac and is the oldest continuous cooperage in France. Our master coopers craft barrels of exceptional quality, providing structural lift, balance, richness and volume to young wines throughout the world.
If you are currently using barrels in your program from Taransaud and Seguin Moreau, we challenge you to also try Tonnellerie LEROI to realise the qualities that the smallest cooperage in the region, but also the oldest in France, can bring to your wine.
