Nadalié oak tank staves are subject to our rigorous tree selection in the best and most renowned forests of France. These trees are processed in our own mills and the staves aged for years, allowing Nature to do her inimitable work. As we assemble your cask or tank, hoops are tightened in the traditional manner with mallet and driver, ensuring that the staves are tightly joined. Tanks undergo toasting in a day-long process in which wood, fire and water supply are carefully managed. This enables us not only to bend the staves, but to develop a whole palette of rich aromas. Aromatic finesse and richness are key elements in elaborating a complex and delicate wine year after year.
