The Use Of Oak From The Beginning Of Winemaking Allows
- Openness and aromatic clarity: Certain oak tannins thus ensure a fruit expression with greater clarity.
- Enhancement of aromatic style: The oak has a distinct influence on wine's aromatic profile from the end of the alcoholic fermentationwhether via aromatic compounds supplied from the raw wood or via compounds formed during toasting.
- Improved structure and mouthfeel: SEGUIN MOREAU's researchers have demonstrated the influence of certain groups of compounds on sweetness, volume and length on the palate of wines.
- Stablization of the sensory profile: Both ŒNOFIRST® formulas have been elaborated to ensure stable sensory profiles of wines.
