The wood comes from trees with very fine pores that grow in the forests of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky. First, they are inspected at our centre in Perryville, Missouri, before being stored outdoors. The wood is then transported to our cooperage in Napa, California, to be used in the production of barrels according to the traditional SEGUIN MOREAU method. The wood and its sensory properties: American oak has a methyl octalactone isomer content that is 2-5 times higher than European oak. The presence of this substance gives American oak its high aromatic potential. The reduction of polyosides during toasting leads to higher proportions of furan derivatives and enol molecules, which produce the much-appreciated ‘toasted aromas’. Our recommendation for use: Due to its high aroma content and low ellagitannin content, SEGUIN MOREAU's American oak barrel is particularly recommended for short ageing periods. This reduces the addition of tannins while increasing the wine's aromatic intensity. Recommended for Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Syrah and all Bordeaux wines. The benefits for your wine: American oak develops a complex, aromatic character that adds richness to mid-range wines. Toasted aromas are intensified and wood tannins are released. Toastings: Medium or Medium +
