Made of France Tonnellerie Ermitage specialises in custom-made products. It selects the best oak to make barrels from trees that are at least a century old, from forests sustainably managed by the National Forest Bureau and certified by the PEFC. The forest, seasoning time, stave selection and toasting processes are all criteria which subtly change the profile of a barrel. Thanks to the steam pre-toasting method, Ermitage barrels reveal very soft tannins and add complexity to the wine. The combination of wine aromas and oak is well-balanced. For each specific project, the Tonnellerie Ermitage provides precise and tailored tracking, from raw material to delivery. has been part of Groupe Charlois, the only cooperage group that is completely integrated from forestry operations to the finished product. Benefiting from the reputation of the Groupe Charlois, its knowledge of oak and savoir-faire offer a unique advantage. Located in one of the most renowned oak forests in France, the cooperage distinguishes itself by its unique steam bending process and by its exceptional selection of oak from France’s forests.
