Bouchons Trescases, <\/strong>revealing excellence since 1876<\/strong><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 1876, generation after generation, Bouchons Trescases has supplied the most prestigious wineries and iconic ch\u00e2teaux with natural corks of exceptional quality. Our company is proud to be the oldest producer of cork stoppers for still wines in France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the family, the secret of selection is passed down from generation to generation: over 130 years of observation and analysis of cork, its regions, forests and harvests, to obtain the best breeds for top-quality corks. From cork removal to the final finish of our corks, we put our family know-how and innovation at the service of quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine is our history, wine is our world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
