— chambord
The Chambord barrel is the quintessence of French heritage and traditional coopering expertise.
The oak used for this special barrel comes from the forest of the National Estate of Chambord in the Loire Valley. This historic and exceptional oak grove surrounds the Château de Chambord, an architectural work commissioned by François the 1st in the 16th century.
The rough staves are seasoned in the open air in the heart of the Chambord park before being received at the Tonnellerie Cadus in Burgundy.
The rarity and quality of the oaks of this forest in the Loire Valley align with the greatest terroirs for aging with finesse and precision. The mention “Aged in Chambord oak barrel”* attests to the special character and relays the history associated with this very special barrel.
