CO2 Certificate: Green Message in a Stopper
We Are All Responsible....
.... for keeping people employed, providing for ourselves and our families. And we try to do it in ways that are respectful of the atmosphere and ecology.
Our beverage customers partner with Mother Nature already and are the converted when it comes to preaching about the environment. But its not just being smart and respectful of the earth while in the fields. I'm sure that transportation, utilities, recycling, etc. have all been looked at in your process. But there is more. The last thing to consider: The packaging. This article may open some eyes about what choosing cork implies for the planet and how your customer perceive your closures.

Why Water Bent Barrels?
Water Bending at Dargaud et Jeagle ("D and J") Is a Proprietary Process.
Picture a large vessel which makes sure that the staves are warm and soaked prior to bending and toasting.
You say, "Yeah. But WHY?"
Have you ever burned your hands trying to use a wet dishtowel to take hot pot or pan out of the oven?
The heat has a chance to migrate deeper into the wood, therefore transforming the flavor impact to the wine.
"Yeah. WHY?"
Because you, my beloved eastern friends are not growing Old Vine Zin.
D&J barrels have manners, class, silky, polished structure and a long, linear finish. They do not overpower the wine. They build a frame beneath the fruit. They build a structure which compliments and balances a wine of a less bombastic scale.
And they allow the wine to live up to the expectations of the vineyard.
There is still time. We are shipping D&J's and Vallaurines to an Eastern port this year.

D&J Barrels- Your Secret Weapon
Are you ready for a barrel that won't stomp on your wine?
Barrels from D&J will change your life. Water bent, delicate, classy oak with small feet frames the picture for your fruit and lifts it up with a long & linear finish.
The fire bent brother of D&J is Vallaurine. This is what happens when we don’t need to scorch a barrel to hide bad wood. Vallaurine have the presence of good and pleasant oak in the nose and a respectful presence in the mid palate.
We offer American barrels, too. Minnesota/ Missouri blend.

Barrels vs. Alternatives and Additives or Why One Great Barrel Beats Five Crappy Barrels
Limited Oak Budget?
You are not alone. Many of our customers have experienced tighter purse strings and smaller budgets lately.
If there is any doubt in your mind that a small percentage of great barrels is actually a better idea than buying lower cost oak, here is your proof:
If there is any doubt in your mind that a small percentage of great barrels is actually a better idea than buying lower cost oak, here is your proof:
Sure, it's a small advantage. You may be using oak dust for finishing, processing, or fermentation. You may be using oak staves, sticks, or chunks in tanks or neutral barrels. You will get a decent result, but not a result like a barrel which still has flavor.
In the event that you are trying to choose how to allocate funds for new barrels, go good, or don't bother.
Barrels either make a good change, a bad change, or no change. High end barrels make a good change.
Some cooperages deliver barrels which are slightly different from one ordered with an identical description the years before. You don't need another variable in your vintage.
Please do your homework, know that your cooperages are consistent and serious about quality. We would be happy to help. Check out our barrels here.

With a Little Patience, Your Packaging Can Really Stand Out with a Glass Stopper From Vinolok.

Time Has Been on Our Side Since Day One.
Amorim's technology marches on and the Neutrocork just keeps getting better. All are 80% cork instead of instead of 70% plastic. This matters to you if you like the idea of the cork representing CO2 retention high enough to offset the manufacturing of the bottle they go into!
The Neutrocork is available three ways:
