CASKS & TANKS

For more than 50 years the Marchive cooperage put its expertise to use in the service of our customers. We still continue the tradition as former master “Foudriers”  have taught the younger coopers the delicate techniques of tank construction. Each tank is custom built to your specifications and we are happy to help to best utilize the requirements and space that you have available. Every stave is sawn respecting the grain of the wood to eliminate leaks and wood dowels only are used to join the staves and heading. Toasting is done the traditional way with a wood brazier fire in the tank for many hours under the watchful eye of our foudriers.  When the construction is complete, the tank is tested and hand sanded for a beautiful finish. Then the accessories are installed and the hoops can be finished in your choice of colors. The tank can be left plain or lightly oiled. After delivery and setup at your winery, our tanks are guaranteed for one year and, of course, we will keep in contact to insure that you are happy with your new cooperage.
