Tonnellerie Henri
Flawless conception, with excellent craftmanship.
Who am I?
I’m Henri Cavin, a passionate barrel-maker, perpetuating an ancestral knowledge handed down from generation to generation.
With over 15 years of experience in the art of cooperage, I am committed to providing barrels that highlight the aromas and flavors of the finest vintages.
Each barrel is a unique piece, designed with care and precision to meet the requirements of the most demanding winemakers.
The barrels
Our barrels are the fruit of meticulous work and constant attention to detail.
We offer barrels with volumes ranging from 114 to 600 L.
We use only top-quality oak. Every step of the manufacturing process, from wood drying to final assembly, is carried out with the utmost care.
Our traditional techniques, combined with constant innovation, guarantee barrels that perfectly meet the expectations of wine professionals.
The barrel-making process :
Wood selection and drying
The wood is carefully selected and naturally dried for 2 to 3 years.
Assembly
The barrel staves are assembled by hand to form the barrel body.
Heating
The barrel is heated to give it its shape and to develop the wood’s aromas.
The Cooper’s mark
Each cooper shapes his work with his soul, giving each barrel its own unique character.
Finish
Each barrel is checked and adjusted to ensure a perfect seal.
