Because your wines deserve eternal life
Eternam® does much more than simply unstopper and restopper. It is a unique service that extends vintages’ lifespan under a precision oenological protocol, using a unit equipped with an array of innovative features:
Bottles are fully secured while these operations are performed.
Over time, a cork stopper loses its key properties. The wine is thus exposed to oxidation and the development of micro-organisms.
Unless this stopper is replaced every 20-30 years, the quality and commercial value of the wine will be impaired.
Until now, no specific oenological process had been developed for repackaging cellared wines
Eternam® is the first service for repackaging old vintages developed to preserve wines’ organoleptic characteristics: a maximum oxygen input of 50 µg/l
This input is 30 to 100 times less than with traditional methods which add between 1.5 and 2 mg/l of dissolved oxygen, thus reducing wines’ ageing potential by more than 10 years
(the annual oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of a high-quality cork is 100 to 150 µg/l/year.)
Eternam® is a label that enhances wine professionals’ perceptions of the repackaged bottle: the added value observed per bottle is 10%-20% of its price
A service run by a unit manager steeped in our oenological culture and two operators trained in precision movements
