The Boswell Company Barrels has been a trusted supplier of premium French oak barrels and enological equipment to the American wine industry since 1975. Family-owned and operated in Northern California, the company specializes in representing boutique, small-scale cooperages from Burgundy and Cognac, ensuring that winemakers have access to exceptional wood craft and consistent seasoning.
The selection of oak and toast intensity defines a wine’s structural complexity, mid-palate sweetness, and flavor persistence. The Boswell Company Barrels represents exclusive workshops that produce fewer than 45 barrels a day. They also offer innovative Éclat barrels, which use slow, ceramic radiant-heat toasting to cook the wood evenly without creating harsh, aggressive smoky aromas, highlighting the pure fruit of cool-climate grapes.
To maintain cellar hygiene and wine quality, enologists require precise tools and accessories. The Boswell Company Barrels pioneered the silicone rubber barrel bung, glass wine thieves, and German-designed sponge cleaning balls. Dedicated to sustainability, the company partners with Trees for the Future, planting four trees globally for every barrel ordered, helping reduce the wine industry’s environmental footprint.
