EXPORT & BESPOKE
AMERICAN
At Tonnellerie Ô we produce two different formats for our American Export Selection barrels – a Bordeaux Export and a Burgundy Export – and offer three basic toast profiles (Medium, Medium Plus and Heavy).
Bespoke Selections are barrels you can customize with our Master Cooper Quinn Roberts to achieve the aesthetic and/or flavor profile intended for a specific wine.
EXPORT
Lighter hand in toasting to give a uniquely exuberant yet elegant character
The wood for our two-year selection American oak barrels is selected primarily from one of the best sources of White oak in the country: the Ozark Highlands of Missouri. These barrels are designed to offer all the classic attributes of premium American oak: aromas of vanilla, coconut and brown spices; volume and richness on the palate; and a long, sweet finish.
Application: For wines that show an affinity for the best characteristics of classic American oak

BESPOKE
Pushing the traditional boundaries of American oak usage
When you choose to work with our Bespoke Selections, you have the option to choose your toast profile, select nonstandard sizes including 200L and 265L formats, adjust stave thickness and include your logo on the barrel head. For an additional cost, you also may order Château formats, specify stave mill sourcing (when available), extend seasoning, substitute French oak heads (Hybrid) and even select 300L Hogsheads.
