Built for the project, not the price list

Large-format wood is rarely a stock item. A vat has to suit the cellar it stands in, the volume it holds and the wine it's meant to carry, which is why these are made to order rather than picked from a range.

Let our teams' expertise support you and provide you with a solution to realize your one-of-a-kind project.

Foudrier
The specialisation

Large-format cooperage is a discipline of its own, and a recognised one here.

Where to start

What we'll need to know

A vat conversation moves faster with a few basics in hand. None of it needs to be final, it just gives the cooperage something to work from.

Capacity

The working volume you're after, anywhere between 10hl and 620hl.

The space

Where it will stand, and how it has to get there. Access shapes a lot of the design.

The wine

What you intend to ferment or age in it, and how much oak influence you want.
