Ingraining Impressions
Tonnellerie Ô was founded over a decade ago as an independent French and American oak barrel maker in the same spirit as our pioneering North American winemaking neighbors: to advance the art and science of barrel making and capture the unique fruit and flavor of the vineyard.
In this spirit, we apply a modern mindset and advanced technology to traditional methods of coopering to augment precision, efficiency and, ultimately, the impression of the barrel on the wine.
“Our cooperage was conceived in the same spirit that guided Robert Mondavi and André Tchelistcheff as they undertook a revolution in American winemaking. Like these California visionaries, we believe that with the right tools and motivation, New World innovators can compete with the finest traditions of the Old World in every part of the winemaking process.”
