La Noblesse du Tonneau

La Noblesse du Tonneau - The 4 authors, Gilles Bousquet, Roland Bugada, Frédéric Gillet and André Valognes, have done a meticulous job of retranscribing the history of the barrel as it has really been through the ages. The barrel, traces of which were discovered more than 2,000 years ago, is still used for maturing wines. This is due to its many qualities in terms of handling, storage, aromas, etc.

You will discover the close links between the cooper and the winemaker for the creation of a true partnership that will give the wine the desired typicity. This book has received numerous awards for its research and writing, including a special mention from the O.I.V. and the Vergnette de Lamotte prize.
