TRADITION • QUALITY

Since 1979, Bouchard Cooperages has been steadfastly committed to providing Winemakers around the world with access to the finest quality, customfabricated French oak barrels at an affordable price. Today, we also offer American and Eastern European oak barrels, as well as a complete line of the highest quality French oak alternatives.

COLLABORATION

We take great pride in building long-term relationships with our Winemakers; because we believe that it is only through these evolving collaborations that we can best assist you in your passion to create great wines. Our International Barrel Consultants are always happy to visit with you, and if possible taste through your wines in order to help you find the best match for your particular varietal(s), terroir(s), and winemaking style. They travel the world and taste through thousands of barrels—we encourage you to utilize their ever-increasing knowledge to your benefit in your endeavors. Each spring we host a series of Winemaker Tasting Events in various wine regions throughout North America. At these increasingly popular events, we invite our Winemakers to taste great wines that feature our barrels and alternatives as we share the latest news in our collective passion.

CONSISTENCY

Our primary goal is to work with our Winemakers to help you develop and refine an oak recipe that is uniquely tailored to your individually crafted wines. Once the recipe is developed, we then work diligently with our family of Coopers in an on-going effort to achieve the highest levels of quality and consistency. Remember, it is often said that consumers will buy the first bottle of your wine based on the label, but the second bottle on flavor. We encourage you to examine our entire portfolio of oak products in order to enhance the unique character of each of the wines you craft.
