We are using XtraChêne Stick 22.90, intended for the aging process of premium red, white or rosé cuvees.
The distinctly unique characteristic of the Stick 22.90 lies in its shape: its square base, measuring 22 mm, and length of 90 cm, is ideal for allowing a progressive diffusion of oak compounds to release into the wine. The Stick 22.90 adds greater complexity and more blended results, and is ideal for aging processes of 6 months or more. In French oak, the Stick 22.90 is available in 3 convection toast levels: Light, Medium and Medium Plus, and 2 oak fire toasted types: Terroir and Quattro. In American oak, they are available in one Specific toast level.
