Toasting levels (02/02)
Our Cognac coopers have developed a toasting method that releases large quantities of tannins. RIVE GAUCHE is ideal for powerful Cabernet based wines.
RIVE DROITE is best-suited to wines like Merlot and is the only type we also offer with a more heavily-toasted finish: RIVE DROITE PLUS.
CLASSIQUE is based on the traditional Burgundy toast and is designed to showcase the fruit of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
MODERNE, designed to maximize the aromatic nuances released by the wood, was initially designed for American oak.
