Le Nez du Vin 12 Aromas of Oak: Exploring the Influence of Oak Barrels on Wine

  • The book has been completely rewritten to incorporate the latest discoveries in history, forestry and chemistry, providing insight into the impact of oak barrels on the sensory characteristics of wine. Covering everything from oak species to winemaker decisions, it delves into the various factors that influence the intensity and quality of wine's woody character.

  • Renowned wine writer and tasting trainer Léa Desportes is the author and coordinator of this updated edition.

  • The content has been verified by Philippe Darriet, Director of the Oenology Research Unit at the Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin in Bordeaux, who also contributed the foreword.

  • Consisting of 56 pages of illustrated and educational text, the book also includes a four-page notebook on barrel making and associated vocabulary.

  • Unlike concrete and stainless steel, wood imparts distinctive aromas to wine. This case includes twelve notes that are most representative of woody aromas in wine, including oak, green wood, coconut, vanilla bean and more.

  • New, each aroma jar now comes with a large token (16 x 23 cm) detailing the origin of the aroma.

  • The case features a new, modern, bright green lid and serves as a complement to the 54-aroma master kit, making it an essential tool for wine trade professionals (winemakers, sommeliers, producers) and enthusiasts looking to improve their tasting skills.

  • Handcrafted in France. Our aromas come with a 5-year guarantee and can last up to 10 years if stored in optimal conditions.
