What Makes Red Wine Unique?

Colour, Aroma and Structure

Red wine is appreciated for its expressive colour and aromatic depth. Depending on the grape variety and ageing, colours range from bright ruby to deep garnet. Aromas span red and black fruits such as cherries, plums and blackberries, complemented by herbal, spicy and occasionally earthy notes.

Influence of Barrel Ageing

Ageing in wood can add layers of vanilla, tobacco, chocolate or roasted aromas. The tannin structure contributes to mouthfeel, complexity and ageing potential – essential attributes when choosing high-quality red wine.

A Variety of Styles for Every Taste

From velvety, fruit-driven wines to powerful, spicy and opulent styles – red wine offers extraordinary diversity. At Boucherville, we curate a range that highlights finesse, balance and authentic character.

How Red Wine Is Made

Unlike white wine, red wine is produced by fermenting grape skins together with the juice to extract colour, tannins and aroma compounds. After maceration, the wine is pressed and matured in stainless steel, large oak casks or barriques.

Many of our partner wineries work organically, rely on natural fermentation and keep interventions to a minimum to preserve quality, terroir and vintage expression.

Ageing Methods for Red Wine

Ageing in Oak Barrels

Oak barrels – from large traditional casks to French barriques – impart additional aromas such as vanilla, chocolate or fine spice. Depending on the producer’s philosophy, the wine may mature for shorter or longer periods to refine tannins and develop a nuanced bouquet. Learn more about barrel ageing

Ageing in Stainless Steel and Concrete

Stainless steel tanks and concrete vessels preserve freshness, purity of fruit and primary aromas. At Boucherville, we value this interplay of tradition, innovation and the distinctive signature of each winemaker. Learn more about stainless-steel ageing
