French toasted oak chips
(Quercus Robur or Quercus Sessiliflora species)

The oak used is chosen by our experts and naturally seasoned in the open air during 24 months. According to the level of toasting, a huge aromatic array is revealed which goes from discrete notes of spices to more toasty notes along with sweet, vanilla flavors. As well as contributing discrete woody notes, Chips FR significantly reinforces the mouthfeel by working with the interactions between the microorganisms and the wood.

Chips FR may be used during ageing on white, red and rosé wines, and provide intense and complex oak notes to the wines. Chips FR may also be used during alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, on white red and rosés wines.
