Blocks EXPRESSION

Œnological objectives
Blocks Expression medium toasted add gourmandise and aromatic persistence to your wine. The main goal is to bring notes of vanilla, caramel and crème brulée, as well as sweetness and volume on the palate.

For what type of wine ?
Blocks Expression fit perfectly with fresh wines, where the vanilla notes help to mature the fruit. These œnological woods harmonise the balance on the palate of wines lacking sweetness on the attack and fatness in the middle. Use on white, rosé and red wines.

When is the right time to apply ?
Application during AF ensures better integration with the wine, while adding sweetness and volume on the palate.
Application during ageing, after MLF, brings out the full aromatic complexity of this type of wood, with its vanilla and toasty notes, while preserving its impact on the palate.

How much to apply ?
The dosage of Blocks Expression should be adapted according to the desired oenological objective. From 2 to 6 g/L on red wines and between 1 and 4 g/L on white and rosé wines.

What is the contact time for these blocks ?
During fermentation : leave the blocks in the wine during the whole vinification, with an ageing period of 2 to 4 months.
During ageing : 2 to 4 months, depending on the organoleptic objective sought.
