Woody wines

Oaked wines are those that have been aged in barrels, typically oak barrels, a traditional method that imparts unique aromas and flavors to the wine. This type of aging provides the wine with micro-oxygenation and a particular aromatic complexity, with subtle notes of vanilla, spices, toast, or even caramel. If you're a fan of wines with character and depth, our selection of oaked wines on Avenue des Vins is perfect for you.

What is an Oaked Wine?

An oaked wine is a wine that has been aged in barrels or oak casks before being bottled. This process is often used for red wines made from noble grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah, as well as for some prestigious white wines, like Chardonnay. The wood interacts with the wine, softening the tannins and bringing aromas of spices, vanilla, chocolate, or smokiness, while adding structure and roundness on the palate.
