  • Weight:  250 g = 8 7⁄8 oz = 9⁄16 lb = 0.25 kg
  • ABC CRAFTED SERIES French Premium Medium-Toasted Oak Chip's specific particle size makes them ideal for small-batch winemaking. 
  • French oak contains high concentrations of spice and balsam aromatic compounds. It is also characterized by its high concentrations of eugenol (spice aromas) and maltol (roasted and caramel aromas).
  • Their fine grain, high porosity, and permeability make them ideal for use in winemaking. This oak’s slow component transfer makes it particularly suitable for medium- and long-duration treatments.

    • Roasted Nuts
    • Clove
    • Licorice
  • APPLYING TO WINE:
    • Enhances aromatic complexity by transferring vanilla and spice aromas.
    • Preserves the wine’s natural fruitiness due to its slow, gradual transfer of oak aromas.

  • ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES:
    • French Premium Medium-Toasted Oak Chips contains high concentrations of volatile compounds such as eugenol, guaiacol, and isoeugenol, which give the wine roasted nuts, coffee, clove, and licorice aromas.

    • In wine, 4 grams per 1 L (33.8 oz), dosage time will depend on the degree of transfer sought and the intensity of the characteristics desired.

    • Users are recommended to perform prior testing to determine dosage and to taste the wine frequently to identify the optimal treatment time in each case.

    • Shake the sacks once a week.

Pleased so far

Used a handful for a 6 gallon batch of Malbec kit. Definitely lighter than American oak which is what I going for. A couple handfuls, ended up with a smooth, vanilla, spicy oak on the back end without overpowering the fruit. I’ll use it again!

French Oak Chips

I bought French Oak Chips to go in my Malbec. I always add Oak Chips to my Red Wine kits. I like the flavor it adds.

French oak chips

There are over 400 types of oak trees. So it is a smart move to choose one that has been used as successfully as a French oak.
