Oenobois Copeaux
American oak chips from selected species Quercus Alba, sourced exclusively from American forests. These forests are naturally grown without any treatment products. The woods are naturally air-seasoned for a minimum of 24 months before transformation. No chemicals are used during the stages of transformation or storage. Once seasoned, the oak is machined into chips and then toasted in a convection oven to reach the defined temperature: MEDIUM or MEDIUM +.
