Oak chips
Creating a style
Made from high-density wood selected for our Cooperage, our oak chips underline the expressions of the different types of wines.
Precise maturing
Our oak chips come from high-density oaks rich in lignins and polysaccharides. As with our barrels, the maturing process requires time and patience. Our selected wood matures naturally, in contact with the wind and rain.
Accentuating the character of the wine, our unroasted oak chips act like aroma enhancers. They are particularly effective when used early in the maturing process.
Wood for oenology
Our roasted oak chips may be used at the beginning and end of the maturing process. They add fullness and structure to the wines along with precise aromatic vanilla or spicy notes, depending on the references and aroma you are seeking.
Demptos oak chips are made naturally in accordance with traceable quality standards. With checks carried out at every key stage, their production process is carefully controlled.There are no chemical or enzyme treatments and no organochlorine or organobromine contamination.
