Seguin Moreau 225 l American Oak
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 +

This bell barrel has been especially built as an ageing barrel for distillates and wines. Painstakingly produced, this barrel is an excellent example of what is achievable in our cooperage. Masters of their trade ply their work here. The fine-grained oak has been seasoned for several years.

They are made from Ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior), an old wood type for barrel-making. The barrels are for aging of distillates, such as grain and fruit spirits, but without release some of its color. This wood ensures a balanced maturation through a restrained micro-oxygenation without colorants. The distillate matures in the pureness of its nature and the taste is pleasantly soft.
