About us
The Dargaud & Jaeglé Cooperage is located in Romanèche-Thorins, in Saone et Loire, at the crossroads of two major wine regions, Beaujolais and Maconnais. Since its creation in 1921, D&J has always defended the idea that oak aging must be done with the greatest respect for the fruit, the terroir, and winemaking artistry. D&J’s original technique, relentlessly enhanced, reinforces this ideal.
Dargaud & Jaeglé is certified FTF Fût de Tradition Française by the CTBA (Centre technique du bois et de l’ameublement) which, among other things, guarantees the following ;
- The oak used is of French origin
- All wood lots are traceable
- The staves are traditionally split
- The staves are naturally air-dried
- All our coopers are highly qualified craftsmen
- Barrel volume and dimension standards are respected
- The internal and external surfaces meet quality standards
- Production procedures are put into place to guarantee the barrels’ overall quality and coopering tradition
Being sensitive to environmental issues, D&J has established its carbon footprint in order to find ways to help lower its ecological impact.
