These 350-liter tonneaux from Bordeaux represent classic elegance, structure, and depth and are among the preferred barrel formats for the region’s great red wines. The tonneau format offers an ideal balance between volume and wood surface area, allowing for even, controlled maturation that preserves both power and finesse.

These barrels are traditionally used to mature high-quality Bordeaux red wines, typically based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. As a result, the oak develops a complex and expressive aromatic profile during seasoning. Characteristic notes include dark berry fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, plum, fine herbal and spice nuances, and a pronounced yet well-integrated tannin structure. The French oak used supports this profile with elegance, structure, and depth without becoming dominant.

With a capacity of 350 liters, these tonneaux provide a calmer and more sustained aroma transfer than classic barriques. This makes them particularly suitable for maturation projects where balance, length, and structural clarity are key. The oak influence is present yet precisely controllable, making these barrels ideal for medium to long aging periods.

After emptying, each barrel is carefully inspected in our cooperages and professionally prepared for re-use. Special attention is paid to wood quality, tightness, and overall sensory condition to ensure consistently high quality.

These 350-liter Bordeaux tonneaux are excellently suited for the storage and aging of premium spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Barrel-aged wines, beers, and ciders also benefit from the structured fruit, fine spice, and elegant oak integration these barrels impart. They are an excellent choice for complex, well-balanced maturation concepts.

Depending on availability, different cooperages, barrel ages, and previous filling histories can be offered. Thanks to our extensive network, we can accommodate specific requests regarding wineries, maturation stages, or seasoning cycles. We are happy to inform you in advance about currently available 350-liter Bordeaux tonneaux and curate a suitable selection for your project.

These 350-liter tonneaux from Bordeaux are ideal for producers seeking a large-format, structured red wine barrel with classic provenance and versatile applications for wines, spirits, beers, and cider - balanced, high-quality, and sensorily precise.
