Dive into the heart of our world dedicated to barrels and casks, where tradition and technology meet to offer you a complete range of oak barrels.
To meet each of your ambitions, LVOE is the exclusive distributor throughout the south of France of three cooperages renowned for their excellence in the manufacture of barrels and casks in French and American oak:
The barrels of the Radoux Cooperage
High-quality French or American oak barrels and casks, combining traditional know-how and cutting-edge technologies to perfect the aging of your wines and beverages.
RANGE OF BARRELS 225 TO 600 L
Bordeaux Barrels, Burgundy Barrels, Transport Barrels or Demi-Muid Barrels
A barrel is only ideal when it perfectly matches the wine you want to make.
We will help you find the ideal configuration for your barrels by determining with you:
– The type of barrel
– Its essence and origin
– The fineness of the grain and tannic potential
– The type and intensity of the toasting
THE BLEND
Limited quantity of 225 L barrels, 228 L Burgundy barrels and 300 L barrels
Only perfect staves, from the finest French oaks with extremely fine grains, are used to make the barrels in the Blend line.
Each stage of their production is subject to draconian controls.
Their extra fine grain gives the wine great aromatic complexity, released very gradually during aging, with a contribution of structure allowing a supple and elegant tannic structure.
THE X-BLEND
The ultra-premium barrel intended for the world's best wines
The X-BLEND is the extension of the “BLEND” line in its ultra premium version.
The Radoux Cooperage has brought together its Meilleurs Ouvriers de France and Compagnons du Devoir, under the leadership of Christian Radoux, to create an exceptional barrel resulting from a draconian selection of wood and a rare finesse of grain.
The X-Blend reveals itself over a long aging period to ensure a measured tannic contribution and exceptional finesse.
