NOBILE, THE OENOLOGY OF WOOD

A range of high quality products marrying tradition, expertise, innovation and research

 

 

REGULATION
International regulation: the use of oak alternatives is authorised (resolution OENO 9/2001 of the OIV)

European regulation: "the use of pieces of oak" is authorized since December 20, 2005 (Payment EC N° 2165/2005 = modification of the appendices N° 1493/1999). Each Member State must decide regarding possible applications within its country. Until such decisions are made by member states, the old regulation remains in force (ie wood alternatives are not authorised, but can be the subject of experiments under the control of a competent organization (DGCCRF for France)).
