Œnological objectives
Chips Light are slightly toasted woods that bring floral notes to the nose and freshness to the palate.
For what type of wine ?
Chips Light fit perfectly with ripe or over-ripe wines that lack freshness.
An interesting wood to work with on warm vintages for white, rosé and red wines.
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 maturation, 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 Chips Light should be adapted according to the level of ripeness of the grapes and the desired oenological objective. From 1 to 3 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.
