Cooperage expertise for 3 generations The tradition of quality Tonnellerie Sylvain is first and foremost the story of a family driven by a passion, which has been producing custom-made barrels to meet winemakers’ requirements, since Gérard Sylvain set up his first workshop in 1957. THE HISTORY At work, we know the craftsman JEAN DE LA FONTAINE Choosing your wood for a cooper is as important as grapes for a winemaker. This is why Jean-Luc Sylvain preferred to integrate wood purchases into his cooper business. With more than 60 years of experience, the homogeneity of Sylvain barrels, which have markers of exemplary consistency, is the signature of Tonnellerie Sylvain.
