Objectives

Œnological objectives
Chips FR Medium + are highly toasted woods that bring toasted notes on the nose and freshness on the palate.

For what type of wine ?
Chips FR Medium + fit in perfectly with very mature wines that lack tension on the palate. An interesting wood to use on white and rosé wines in small doses to bring freshness to warm vintages.

Directions 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 will ensure better integration with the wine while adding volume on the palate. Application during ageing, post MLF, will bring 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.
