BOISÉLEVAGE Staves AHT

Among the products of the Boiselevage range, there is Staves, planks of toasted French and American sessile oak with a dimension of cm 95x5x0,7 (French) or 95x10x0,9 (American). The combined utilization of Boiselevage Staves and Microsafe (micro-oxygenation) enables to create conditions very similar to the ones of the barrique refinement. The slow release of the compounds characteristic of wood and the balanced oxygen supply start all reactions giving softness, volume, body to wines and improve the colour stability, gaining pleasant violet tones. The High toasting (AHT) is obtained with a toasting at high temperatures. The oak so treated gives wine a complex aroma, very intense of coffee, almost mentholated spices, sweet sensations remaining constant during time.
