Tonnellerie Sylvain designs and produces barrels entirely from French oak, with a clear focus on the origin and quality of its timber. It serves winemakers seeking barrels tailored to vinification and aging, delivering assemblies crafted to enhance each wine. In the beverage manufacturing sector, the company is recognized as a market leader for its expertise. Founded in 1957 by Gérard Sylvain in Libourne, the business relocated to Saint-Denis-de-Pile in 1991. It expanded its operations by integrating a merranderie in 2000 to better control wood quality and supply, and in 2003 acquired Château La Rose Perrière in Lussac as its research and development laboratory to support ongoing innovation in vinification and aging in barrels.
