WOOD, WORK and WINE All Over the World
Located since 1936 in the heart of Cognac, the Bernard family has forged the capacity to conceive French traditional barrels. Our broad knowledge of oak, the serious approach to seasoning and maturation has no equal in respecting the necessary steps involved in quality fabrication.
Not too much theoretical discourse. We have known for a long time that a Bernard barrel will give a long life with your wine at your cellar.
AROMATIC PROFILE and TASTE CHARACTERISTICS
Whether a Bernard barrel, with its aromatic profile and taste characteristics, will give you full satisfaction can only be proved with your wine under our oak. If the result matches your expectation our commitment is to put all our “savoir-faire” at your service and to guarantee for you for each vintage a barrel with consistent aromatic profile, a barrel that will be yours first and foremost.
A TRUE SAVOIR-FAIRE
The knowledge acquired through 3 generations has given us the ability to understand and respect the essential steps to producing high quality barrels. Our aim is not to develop a new barrel making process but to sustain the feel, expertise and savoir-faire. Our team is committed to respect the fundamental basics of traditional barrel making, guaranteeing quality and consistency, such as:
-	Timber selection, 
-	Drying the wood to respect the natural aging process,
-	Forming the staves for their methodical assembly,
-	Bending and toasting on a traditional brazier oak fire,
-	Completing the technical and aesthetic finish,
-	Carrying out the final testing.
TRADITION and MODERNITY
Despite being modern and automated, our barrel making process is still based on the traditional methodology. However Bernard Tonnellerie will always embrace the advantages of new technology for the benefit of our clients.
Each Bernard barrel comes with an engraved tag on the base and can be identified by our laser written signature.
