Tonnellerie Bernard, established in 1936 in the heart of the Grande Champagne region of South West France, has maintained time-honoured cooperage skills.    

This artisan production workshop, acquired in 2017 by the Charlois Group, respects the fundamental precepts of craft barrel making.

The supply of quality French oak from the Charlois Group means that it has at its disposition an exceptional stock of staves from which to make high quality barrels with irreproachable traceability.   

It perpetuates the technique of natural seasoning of the staves for 24 to 36 months, and sometimes even longer.

With its broad range of barrels, the cooperage is able to respond to specific requirements for both wines and spirits.
