Vincents Recommendations

Need help deciding which barrel to buy? Below is a list of our coopers and the grape varietals that have proven to be well suited with their barrels.

Caveat: These are general guidelines, and many other intriguing combinations can be possible!

Arôbois
  • Arôbois products can be used to enhance any wine. The light and medium toast contribute more wood and spice tones, while the heavy toast imparts a sweet vanilla and slightly smokey character. We strongly suggest combining different toasts in order to match the complexity of aromas and flavours provided by oak barrels.
Baron

Billon
  • Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio
  • Barbera, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Syrah
Damy
  • Chardonnay and other barrel-fermented whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc
  • Pinot Noir and Shiraz, particularly when a round, creamy texture is desired
