Core offering

Tonnellerie Darnajou is an artisanal French cooperage that handcrafts oak wine barrels from French oak sourced from central France forests. Each barrel is produced entirely by a single cooper using traditional methods including 16–24 months of natural stave drying, bespoke toasting, and optional traditional Bordeaux finishing with chestnut and wicker bindings. The barrels are sold to fine wine producers through direct relationships and a global network of regional distributors and agents.

Product overview

Tonnellerie Darnajou offers a portfolio of handcrafted French oak barrels as its core product. The company's main offering consists of artisanal Bordeaux-style barrels manufactured from French oak sourced from forests in central France. The portfolio includes two finish variations: the standard Bordeaux barrel with galvanized steel hoops, and the traditional Bordeaux finish featuring pine bars with chestnut pegs and wicker-wrapped chestnut hoops. All barrels undergo the same production process regardless of capacity: wood preparation with natural drying (16-24 months), assembly, toasting (the signature moment where the cooper expresses their identity), trimming, and finishing. Each barrel is produced entirely by a single cooper craftsman, giving the product its unique character and soul.
