Used on high quality grapes, bois frais increases aromatic intensity and volume on the palate.

On lower quality grapes, fruitiness is intensified through the reduction of vegetative character and the color is stabilized.

An innovative product from Boisé France, Bois Frais is effective because of a rigorous selection of oak based on specific biochemical criteria. Used on either white or red grapes, the chips have an extremely rapid effect, from a few hours to a few days.
