The Company Story:
Vincent Bouchard founded Bouchard Cooperages in 1979 on one basic principle: to give Winemakers access to the finest custom-fabricated French oak barrels - in time for harvest and at minimal expense - year after year.
Since then, there have been a lot of changes in the barrel business, and Bouchard Cooperages has been at the forefront of much of the innovation (studies on toast levels, forest origin, and the geography of stave aging, as well as the introduction of the silicone bung and the shrink-wrapping of barrels). In 2009, we began experimenting on the true effect of atmospheric conditions on stave aging. Our goal is to determine precisely when staves are ready for barrel fabrication, depending on specific geographic and climatic factors (a 3-year aged stave may not be ready if there was a drought for 2 of those 3 years). Last year we also introduced the "electronic signature," effectively allowing our Winemakers to approve orders from their laptops or smart phones. And this year, all of our Coopers began emailing their invoices in an effort to not only save paper, but to save our Customers time and money with accounts payable processing.
Through all of these changes, our core principle remains the same. We pride ourselves in developing long-term relationships with both our Winemakers and our Coopers. We believe it is only through this on-going collaboration that we can help Winemakers to consistently realize their winemaking passion.
Simply said, we are forever committed to helping our Coopers craft a better barrel, and to helping our Winemakers craft a better wine. Our team of Sales Consultants pride themselves on meeting with Winemakers, tasting through their wines, and helping them find the best match for a particular varietal, terroir, and individual winemaking style.
With over 30 years of experience and a global presence, we are also experts in logistics – from container consolidation to exchange rate fluctuation risk management - firmly committed to unparalleled customer service.
