Description
Barrique 228-liter Oak Barrel with Stand Burgundy- with a barrique stand is produced from sessile oak. The wooden barrels can have galvanized or black hoops.
Wine should age in oak barrels. Although fermentation in a wooden barrel can add a specific and complex flavor to the wine, it is common today for wine to age in large tanks, and then be transferred to oak barrels for maturation. Oak can add various aromas and flavors to wine such as butter, vanilla, dill, coconut, clove, caramel, or cinnamon. Serbian pedunculate oak can add a much stronger aroma than French oak (Quercus pedunculata and Q. sessiflora). In the production of barrique barrels, we use sessile oak and Turkey oak. The 228-liter barrique barrel has two staves that are 50 mm wide (in the middle of the barrel) and two staves each 40 mm wide (at the ends of the barrel).
The dimensions of the Burgundy barrique barrel are: length – 88 cm, largest diameter (at the side) – 73 cm, head diameter – 59 cm.
We produce barrique barrels in 3 levels of toasting – light, medium, and heavily toasted.
These barrels typically have galvanized hoops, but according to customer requirements, in line with their needs, we can also make them with black hoops. Additionally, we can brand the barrels if needed.

Characteristics of Burgundy Barrique Barrels
Burgundy barrique barrels are known for their unique dimensions and shape which allow them to enhance wines in a special way. With a standard volume of 228 liters, these barrels have a width of about 72 centimeters and a height of about 88 centimeters. This wider and lower construction allows a larger contact surface between the wine and the oak, leading to faster oxidation and the development of aromatic complexity.
Advantages of Burgundy Design
Thanks to their specific construction, Burgundy barrique barrels allow wines to develop a more sophisticated texture and a more complex aromatic profile. Winemakers value these barrels as they add subtle notes of spices, fruit, and floral aromas, without an excessive dominance of wood, thus preserving the natural freshness and character of the wine. This feature makes Burgundy barrels an ideal choice for delicate wines like Pinot Noir, which require careful balancing between fruity aromas and tannins. Comparison with Bordeaux (Bordeaux) Barrels
Unlike Burgundy barrels, Bordeaux barrels are taller and narrower, with dimensions that typically include a height of about 95 centimeters and a diameter of about 60 centimeters. These dimensions allow for a smaller contact surface and slower oxidation, which is ideal for producing robust red wines that require longer aging and gradual release of tannins. Bordeaux barrels are often the choice for wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, where a greater structure and tannicity are desired.
Our Burgundy barrique barrel of 228 liters offers exceptional opportunities for enhancing your delicate wines, providing an environment in which they can thrive and develop complex aromas that consumers seek. Do not miss the opportunity to equip your wineries with barrels that will not only improve the quality of your wines but also increase their market value.
