Old Barrel Of French Manufacture

Old barrel of French manufacture

This cylindrical container is made of solid oak. 

This barrel has aged and blackened over time to the point of giving it a greyish color. This phenomenon is due to the oxidation of tannins.

The cooper used this wood to age his wine in barrels. He appreciated it for its natural properties. These allow to soften the tannins, develop new aromas, clarify the wine, give the opportunity to the wine to breathe.

The four circles are from the time of the manufacture of the barrel. It is made up of 21 planks.

This old barrel has a particular form. It will harmonize with the most popular contemporary interiors, such as farm houses, cottages, industrial houses, country houses.
