Canadell Supports the “ONF - Agir” (Office National des Forêts - Act Now) Fund.
Plant and regenerate for tomorrow!
Canadell, a fourth generation family owned premium French oak stave and alternatives supplier owes its success to its unique know-how in enhancing bicentennial oaks. Its sustainability intrinsically depends on oak resources. Canadell has always sourced its oaks from PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified French State forests managed by the ONF (Office National des Forêts). It is therefore only natural that Canadell chose to support an oak replanting project proposed by the ONF - Agir (Office National des Forêts - Act Now) in the form of a forest endowment fund. Planting in the State National forest of Laigue which is situated in France’s Oise (Hauts-de-France) region started in November 2020. This forest together with the forests of Compiègne and Ourscamp are the largest forests in the region and France’s second largest forest region encompassing over 20,000 hectares.
Sitting on sandy soils, the forest of Laigue is actually suffering terribly from climate change and repetitive droughts. It has also been weakened by the invasions of beetles which negatively impacts forest renewal. Beech, oak and spruce trees are quickly withering away from forest dieback and invasive bark beetles. These trees need to be renewed and replanted in order to maintain a healthy and diverse forest ecosystem.
A crisis plan has been implemented and support from Canadell and it’s partners will allow the planting, protection and maintenance of over 7,200 oak saplings along with many other native trees to increase biodiversity in the forest and help retain a rare and precious resource for the International wine industry: French oak.
To preserve and strengthen France’s forests for future generations, donations can be made at: www.onf-agirpourlaforet.fr
About Canadell

In 2000 Canadell launched their own line of fine oak alternative products for winemaking which include fans, chips, dominos and barrel inserts. What is unique about Canadell is that they have complete in house integration from when the oak is cut to packaging which means they control the entire process themselves.

The Company Story:
Vincent Bouchard founded Bouchard Cooperages in 1979 on one basic principle: to give Winemakers access to the finest custom-fabricated French oak barrels - in time for harvest and at minimal expense - year after year.
Since then, there have been a lot of changes in the barrel business, and Bouchard Cooperages has been at the forefront of much of the innovation (studies on toast levels, forest origin, and the geography of stave aging, as well as the introduction of the silicone bung and the shrink-wrapping of barrels). In 2009, we began experimenting on the true effect of atmospheric conditions on stave aging. Our goal is to determine precisely when staves are ready for barrel fabrication, depending on specific geographic and climatic factors (a 3-year aged stave may not be ready if there was a drought for 2 of those 3 years). Last year we also introduced the "electronic signature," effectively allowing our Winemakers to approve orders from their laptops or smart phones. And this year, all of our Coopers began emailing their invoices in an effort to not only save paper, but to save our Customers time and money with accounts payable processing.
Through all of these changes, our core principle remains the same. We pride ourselves in developing long-term relationships with both our Winemakers and our Coopers. We believe it is only through this on-going collaboration that we can help Winemakers to consistently realize their winemaking passion.
Simply said, we are forever committed to helping our Coopers craft a better barrel, and to helping our Winemakers craft a better wine. Our team of Sales Consultants pride themselves on meeting with Winemakers, tasting through their wines, and helping them find the best match for a particular varietal, terroir, and individual winemaking style.
With over 30 years of experience and a global presence, we are also experts in logistics – from container consolidation to exchange rate fluctuation risk management - firmly committed to unparalleled customer service.
