Oak cask: High capacity oak barrel (30 hL and
more). These wooden wine containers are used for many years and give almost no
compound to the contained base wine. The passage of the base wines of champagne
in casks, for the vinification (alcoholic and malolactic fermentation) or for
the ageing allows a controlled oxidation. The
producer who use casks offers a real breath to his base wines, which are then
opener.
