TANKS & CASKS
Le grand art de la tonnellerie
SEGUIN MOREAU offers to each of its customers a capital of unequalled skills to complete each project in the best possible conditions.
Our recommendations for use:
SEGUIN MOREAU’s large capacity containers are perfectly adapted to aging wines as well as wine making.
The benefits for your wines:
Vinification:
• The temperature of fermentation is perfectly controlled.
• Micro oxygenation through the wood prevents the appearance of reduction aromas
• The substances resulting from the long, gentle, deep toasting are transformed during fermentation. They give complex aromas: coffee, caramel, toast..
• The combination of the anthocyanins and the ellagitannins of the wood gives a structuring contribution and stabilizes the color of the wine.
• The carbon dioxide escapes rapidly and clarification is carried out naturally at the end of fermentation.
Aging:
• Careful oxidation favors a slow and regular structuring.
• Large capacity containers make the blending and treating wines easier.
Blending of spirits
Large capacity containers are essential in blending spirits, and help preserve the bouquet at the end of the aging period.
