Rousseau Confidential Range French Oak Barrels
Rousseau Confidential Range French Oak Barrels
One barrel. One forest.
The Confidential Range puts the origin of the oak first. Each barrel is made from a single named French state forest, among the most prestigious oak forests in France and, in Rousseau's words, "perhaps Europe". Rousseau runs a dedicated supply chain to guarantee that origin. Because oak of this kind is scarce, supply is limited and barrels are made in 228L only, so it pays to enquire early.
The range is recommended for ageing of 11 to 18 months. For something more bespoke, Rousseau's Offre à Façon builds barrels from staves chosen with you, based on your requirements for origin, seasoning time, grain and toast.
Choose Confidential if forest provenance is part of your wine's story.
The Confidential Range Models
Each barrel is made from one named forest, and can be ordered in any of the five toasts. See the toasting guide below.
