Taransaud Tonnellerie
Patience, rigour and respect are the hallmarks of the TARANSAUD cooperage approach, which is centred on the close-knit union between wood and wine. During ageing in French oak barrels, wines and brandies acquire the finishing touches to their character and reveal their full complexity. This is what we call a "perfect exchange". In order to achieve it, we use extremely rigorous methods at every stage of the crafting of our barrels and tanks.

QUALITY AND ATTESTATION


Quality
We are strictly demanding on :








The selection of wood and grain by our wood buyers, oak specialists.

The 100% French origin of our oak, attested by Bureau Veritas.

The control of our supplies by the preparation of staves in our two splitting mills and by a rigorous and regular control of our stave suppliers.

The seasoning of the totality of our wood exclusively in the open air during 2 to 3 years, attested by Bureau Veritas.

The control of heating and toasting registered through computer to ensure a strict reproducibility (TARANSAUD process) and the respect of aromatic profiles.

A careful quality control.

The training and expertise of our coopers, several of them being awarded the prestigious recognition "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" (Best Worker in France).

A constant research for improvement which led to the creation of a Research & Development Department within Chêne & Cie for all its brands.

A complete traceability, from the forest to the barrel, involving that each part or product in the barrel assembly be analysed, approved and recorded.

The satisfaction of our customers: we meet their specific requirements and provide them, on request, with a detailed traceability inquiry.
