Coeur de Quintessence:
A Technical Seminar & Barrel Tasting

Join us for an in-depth look at Cœur de Quintessence, a barrel crafted solely using heartwood found in the innermost part of the French oak tree. Discover how wood age, position within the tree, and heartwood chemistry influence structure, tannins, and aromatic development in fine wines.

Led by Dr. Glycine Bonneville-Jiang, this seminar shares key findings from five years of research in our Bordeaux-based laboratory, followed by an interactive barrel tasting.
