Leroi French Barrels
| THE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME... |
| Formerly known as Martell, the oldest spirits producing house in Cognac, Tonnellerie Leroi is situated in the heart of the vineyards of Cognac and has unprecedented experience in the production of barrels for the best wines and brandies of the world. |
THE DEDICATION TO QUALITY… |
| From the selection of our wood until the delivery of our barrels to your winery, our ongoing pursuit of quality and providing complete traceability are our utmost objectives. Quality starts with the selection of the finest batches of oak from the large forests in the heart of France, managed by the National Office of the Forests. Each oak stave certified by the CTBA and each barrel coded for traceability. Tonnellerie Leroi guarantees protection against all exogenic contaminants through multiple analyses. |
THE TRADITION OF WORKMANSHIP… |
| As an artisan barrel producer Tonnellerie Leroi is dedicated exclusively to quality. Our barrels are produced from exceptional fine grain, French oak, which our experienced Leroi coopers toast to perfection using our time-honored, traditional methods. |
THE DISTINCTIVENESS OF CLIMATE… |
| The region of Cognac is known to be particularly well suited to fine barrel production, which assures Tonnellerie Leroi the perfect conditions for the aging of their wood, and our special toasting technique further creates our desirable flavor profiles. |
