Œnoblend® CHIC

Œnological objectives
Œnoblend® Chic chips are a blend of medium to highly toasted French and American woods designed to bring aromatic complexity with notes of black fruit and fresh spices. This blend also brings plenty of aromatic persistence to the finish.

For what type of wine ?
The Œnoblend® Chic chips are perfect for wines that lack complexity, freshness and length. It is a blend of woods that brings aromatic finesse while respecting the fruit.

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, post MLF, brings out the full aromatic complexity of the wood while preserving its impact on the palate.

How much to apply ?
The dosage of Œnoblend® Chic should be adapted according to the desired oenological objective. From 1 to 5 g/L for white, rosé and red wines. If you want to increase complexity and finesse, we recommend working with 3-4 g/L for ageing.

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.
