Our ultra-premium RARE barrel is designed for the world’s finest wines. As it is the result of a demand for ultimate perfection, its production is limited to just a few hundred barrels a year.

RARE barrels are the product of a meticulous selection process in which only the finest staves are selected from the most outstanding lots from the best French forests. Each stave is examined in minute detail before being chosen to form part of a RARE barrel. The delicacy of its ultra-fine grain is key to ensuring a great wine’s aromatic complexity.

Our RARE barrels have a superior finish. Each stave is hand-planed before the exceptionally precise roasting stage begins. The R+D department monitors this process to guarantee perfection. Every barrel is issued a unique certificate of authenticity which assures post-sales service for the life of the barrel. An exceptional barrel which offers a great finesse, elegance and complexity to lengthy ageing processes.

A great wine expresses finesse, refinement, elegance and, above all, balance. A wine’s inherent complexity requires an ageing process in line with its origins. An ageing which helps to enhance the wine’s seductive power through those nuances that turn it into a work of art. The element that makes the wine special. The element that makes it extraordinary.
