Œnological objectives
Chips FR Medium are moderately toasted woods that bring gourmet vanilla notes to the nose and sweetness to the palate.
For what type of wine ?
Chips Fr Medium fit perfectly with under-ripe wines, where the aim is to ripen the fruit and reduce the vegetal intensity. An interesting wood to work with on thermo red wines or on fresh vintages in order to gain in sweetness and length.
Direction for use
When is the right time to apply ?
The chip format allows you to quickly extract the potential of the wood in the wine. Application at AF ensures better integration with the wine while adding volume on the palate. Application during ageing, after MLF, brings out the full aromatic complexity of the wood while preserving its impact on the palate.
How much to apply ?
The dosage of FR Médium Chips should be adapted according to the level of ripeness of the grapes and the desired oenological objective. From 1 to 5 g/L for white, rosé and red wines.
What is the contact time for these chips ?
During fermentation : the time required for vinification. 7 to 10 days are needed to extract all the
potential of the wood (aromatic and palate contribution).
During ageing : a contact period of 1 to 3 months is recommended to ensure good integration
of the wood.
