They carry out the necessary repairs to sustainably extend the life and quality of each barrel. This rare expertise is an integral part of the process of enhancing and optimizing oak as a raw material. Doreau l’Atelier also offers solutions for the purchase and sale of used barrels for wines and spirits.
