TESTIMONIALS

JF Piat, sommelier of " La Côte Saint Jacques " at Joigny (89), Relais et Châteaux.

" The Domaine Michel Mallard delights us with a range of Burgundy wines full of panache : a very expressive bouquet followed by a persistant aftertaste on balanced tanins and a judiciously controlled woody taste, certainly the fruit of a good selection in the purchase of oak barrels from Billon Cooperage destined for their production. ". "

Blair Walter - Nouvelle Zélande.

" We really appreciate the Billon barrels for their subtlety and integration with our Pinot Noirs. With our more delicate fruit and tannin structures, it’s important that the oak doesn’t overwhelm the wine and we find that Billon integrates well while offering interesting and complex spicey oak characters without being aggressive or showing overt toastiness. "

Bouchard Cooperages.

" We have been using Billon 228L barrels for quite sometime now. We use it almost exclusively for our lovely Pike & Joyce Adelaide Hills Chardonnay. The level of char and textural aspects derived from Billon suit our style of wine perfectly and allows the character of the vineyard to show through. "
