True to our passion for excellence, Tonnellerie Quintessence crafts barrels from the finest oak, chêne français, milled at France’s most sophisticated stave operation. Expert wood buyers take great care in wood selection, searching the great forests for straight, tight grain oak. Once chosen, merrandiers split and saw the wood before it is leisurely air-seasoned up to 36 months, heightening its aromatic potential. While you’re centering attention on the fruit, we’re nurturing the perfect oak for your wine.
What sets a Tonnellerie Quintessence barrel
apart from all others?
The answer is reflected in the eyes of the wood buyer as he scans a stand of noble oaks, searching for the perfect tree.
It’s etched in the hands of the cooper as he transforms the oak into barrels, faithful to the tradition of his calling.
It’s captured in the smile of the vintner as the barrel of wine is revealed, the essence of his vision comes to life.
The answer is the wine. Always, the wine.
