Œnological objectives
Chips Toffee are 100% French medium toast oak that bring very intense notes of fresh vanilla and lactones. Toffee chips are currently the sweetest of our oak chip range.
For what type of wine ?
Toffee chips are perfect for wines with a lack of sweetness on the palate. Toffee chips not only help to soften the ‘hard’ tannins of highly concentrated red wines, but also harmonise the ‘harsh’ tannins of dry vintages.
Direction for use
When is the right time to apply ?
The chip format allows you to quickly extract the potential of the oak in the wine. Application during AF ensures better integration with the wine while adding volume on the palate. Application during ageing, after MLF, brings out the full oak aromatic complexity 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 oak (aromatic and palate contribution).
During ageing : a contact period of 1 to 3 months is recommended to ensure good integration of the oak.
