With this year’s special climatic conditions, the underripe grapes seem to have a higher tendency to show green characters.
Even if micro-oxygenation seem to have a great effect on these wines (for the under-riped green tannins), untoasted chips also helps with decreasing them.
This year, the demand for untoasted chips (BF: Bois Frais) was high, especially the smaller size which can be used during fermentation (small size for a faster extraction and pumpable capacities, without any risk for the press: BFP, Bois Frais Pumpable).
When used in fermentation it :
- stabilizes color,
- reduces vegetal characters,
- enhances fruitiness
- and builds structure and volume on the mid-palate.

Boisé France Untoasted Oak Chip
The fastest growing tool for making better wine is the Boisé France un-toasted oak chip by Vivelys, called Bois Frais Pumpable. When used in fermentation it stabilizes color, reduces vegetal characters, enhances fruitiness and builds structure and volume on the mid-palate. Whether or not the wine will be aged with barrels, tank staves, or toasted oak chips, the application of un-toasted oak chips at fermentation, or immediately after, is making better wine by preparing it for your long or short-term aging program.
“Bois Frais” is the Un-Toasted Oak of Boisé France : Our untoasted wood conserves all the characteristics of its botanical and geographical origin and of its seasoning. The various steps in batch selection are determining factors in the production process, and ensure that quality is both homogeneous and of an excellent standard.
