The great French cooperage since 1735. Founded by Martell, the oldest House of Cognac, Tonnellerie Leroi holds rare expertise in the production of oak barrels dedicated to eaux-de-vie and liqueurs. From its roots in the Cognac region, its heritage and exacting standards have earned it recognition across vineyards worldwide. Oak selection lies at the heart of its craftsmanship, meeting the highest œnological standards of distillers and producers. To create this perfect harmony between oak and spirits, only staves sourced from the finest French oak are chosen for the production of barrels and vats. The nobility of the material is matched by the mastery of its expert coopers. By controlling the toasting flame according to the intended aging profile, the artisan cooper reveals the full aromatic subtlety of oak, imparting both character and strength to the spirit. Tonnellerie Leroi holds the “Entreprise du patrimoine vivant” (Living Heritage Company) label.
