Standard or Custom French Oak Vessels

Tonnellerie Rousseau boasts a history of three generations of artisanal production specialized in large format Oak tanks and casks. Whether you are looking to explore large aging and fermentation vessels, or whether you have a custom project in mind, we can help you tailor vessels to suit your winery's exact needs. 

Casks (Foudres)

The Foudre is the ideal aging container for wines that need time to develop, and will benefit from the structure and micro-oxidation of oak, without over "oaking" and keeping purity in the finished wines. Rousseau can offer solutions for complex pyramid stacks, housing multiple volumious casks to maximize floorspace, or more straightforward projects of round and oval casks free-standing on oak supports. 

   Selected Round Foudres:

C6             C10             C15              C25

   Selected Oval Foudres:

​CO6         CO10          CO15           CO20

   Examples of Foudre Pyramids:

3 x CO6             3 x C10                 5 x C20
