HOME
Tonnellerie Maury & Fils is one of the most prestigious cooperages in France, founded in 1893 in the heart of Bordeaux. For over 130 years, the name Maury has stood for artisan excellence, precise craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality in the production of premium oak barrels and barriques for fine wine maturation.
Now led by Mathieu Maury in the fourth generation, the cooperage delivers approximately 90% of its production to Grand Cru Classé estates – including some of the world’s most iconic wineries. These top-tier producers rely on Maury barrels to refine their wines with structure, elegance, and aging potential.
Each barrique is crafted from fine-grained French oak, carefully selected for its tight grain and optimal tannin profile. The wood undergoes long natural air-drying and is custom toasted to develop complex aromas. This results in balanced micro-oxygenation and a layered aromatic expression, ideal for long-aging red and white wines.
By combining traditional cooperage craftsmanship with modern technology, Maury & Fils creates tailor-made premium barrels that meet the highest expectations of elite winemakers around the globe. The brand stands for sustainable quality, authentic French barrel-making, and the refined art of elevating fine wines.

The exceptional quality of Maury & Fils wine barrels is rooted in uncompromising quality standards at every stage of production. Only hand-selected French oak from the most prestigious forests is used - known for its high density, fine grain, and ideal characteristics for aging fine wines.
From natural air-drying over 30 to 36 months to custom-designed toasting levels, each barrique is crafted with meticulous precision and traditional expertise. The result: premium barrels that enhance a wine’s texture and aromatic structure without overpowering its fruit.
Quite the opposite – Maury barrels support clear fruit expression, while also imparting elegant spice, depth, and velvety tannins. Gentle micro-oxygenation enables a controlled, high-level maturation process – suitable for both vibrant white wines and powerful red wines.
Thanks to their versatility, Maury & Fils barrels are ideal for wineries that seek refined barrel aging with structure and elegance. Whether for short-term or long-term aging, these barrels allow for a tailored maturation that reflects the unique character of each wine.
