OENOCHIPS® ARE
A range of chips for wine aging, drawing on the latest scientific knowledge
about the oenological use of oak and validated via extensive laboratory and
cellar testing. This top-of-the-line tool enables winemakers to obtain distinctive, reproducible sensory profiles, while benefitting from a more rapid extraction
rate.OPTIMIZING WINE/WOOD CONTACT TIME
OENOCHIPS® formulations integrate balanced oak sensations quickly into the wine, efficiently meeting production and marketing constraints. Recommended contact time varies from one to four months, depending on desired oenological objective, comparing favorably with the two to five months aging time for many oak chips on the market
- Did You Know?
SEGUIN MOREAU’s research team has demonstrated œnological properties of oaks can vary significantly from one tree to the next. Though specific forests have long been prized for oak trees of certain characteristics, oak trees have shown grain variance and subsequent aromatic variance. Two trees side by side, on the same plot of land of the same forest, could provide significantly different results from each other. This natural variation is intensified at the usual application rates (2-6 g/L). To ensure precision—strict grain selection and sorting, along with chemical testing, allow for control of the oak making up OENOCHIPS® blends, providing for accuracy and consistency.
