Our Story

Nadalie History

Tonnellerie Nadalié boasts a rich tradition and mastery in the art of barrel-making. Spanning five generations, the company is among the most highly regarded family owned cooperages in the world.

Founded in Montpellier, France in 1902, the operations were moved to Ludon Medoc in the 1930’s to benefit from the moist climate and proximity to the ocean in the drying process. Today, Tonnellerie.

Today, Tonnellerie Nadalié has a worldwide presence with production facilities located in France, Australia, California and Chile.

Innovation, Diversity, Experience Based on Time-Honored Practices

Nadalie produces and markets wine barrels throughout the world. Meticulous workmanship and traditional French know-how go into hand-crafted barrels using American, French and eastern European oak. The direction, composition and manufacture of the Nadalié oak products line are defined collectively by three cooperages.

Superior quality control…

By owning the facilities in France, Chile and the United States, Nadalie offers not only superior quality control but also the ability to manufacture custom-made products to your specifications.

Nadalie has established strict production parameters to control all its processes including milling, splitting, seasoning, grain selection and production.

French CTB (Centre Technique du Bois) inspections and certification ensure integrity of source of oak, traditional barrel making methods and aging of planks.

Nadalie’s intricate traceability system ensures Nadalie can guarantee the origin of the wood used to make barrels from the forest to the cask.
