Ageing wine cellar: to preserve and enhance your wines

An ageing cellar, a real treasure for wine lovers, is specially designed to bring out the best in your vintages by ensuring optimal ageing. Discover its essential role:

Long-term preservation

The ageing cellar provides an ideal environment for preserving your wines for long periods, sometimes years. In a stable environment conducive to ageing, it preserves the organoleptic characteristics of your wines (aromas, flavours, textures). Your wines evolve harmoniously over time and your tastings are all the better for it.

Precise temperature control

Temperature is a key factor in the successful ageing of wines. The ageing cellar maintains a constant and appropriate temperature, generally between 12°C and 16°C, allowing your wines (red wine, white wine, spirits, etc.) to mature slowly to their peak in a balanced way.Well-Calibrated HumidityHumidity is just as crucial in an ageing cellar, with the right level of humidity, generally around 70%. It prevents the corks from drying out, thus preventing premature oxidation of the wine. What's more, constant humidity preserves the integrity of your bottles' labels.

Protection against light and vibration

Ageing cellars are designed with effective insulation to protect your wines from the harmful effects of light and vibration. UV light can alter the wine's compounds, while vibrations can disrupt the natural deposit in the bottles. Whether with a solid door or a glass door, our wine cellars are designed with an anti-UV system. You can discover the protection against light offered by our GARDE200 ageing wine cellar with its solid door.

Wine maturation and development

Ageing wine in a cellar allows the wine's compounds to transform and combine over time, leading to positive changes in its taste and aromatic characteristics. The tannins soften, the aromas intensify, and the different components of the wine merge harmoniously.

In short, an ageing cellar provides a controlled and stable environment to allow your grands crus to mature and develop fully over time. It provides optimum conditions of temperature, humidity, protection from light and vibration, helping to preserve wines over the long term, so you can fully appreciate their evolution and complexity.

Investing in an ageing cellar is essential for preserving your wines and exploring their rich aromatic potential. Whether you're a wine lover or a collector, this cellar will allow you to enjoy mature, perfectly balanced wines, ready to offer an unforgettable taste experience.
