Rousseau Outside of France Oak Series Barrels

Rousseau Outside of France Oak Series Barrels

Give the cellar a different voice

Rousseau built its name on French oak, but it also sources staves from three non-French species that behave very differently in the cellar. They suit short and long ageing alike, from 8 to 24 months, and the toast level is your choice.

Every model can be ordered in any of the five toasts. See the toasting guide below.
