Servicing the wine industry for the last 20 years in Napa Valley, Yann Guigen, a French master cooper, makes his fine cooperage a vintage art and craft. Yann takes care of repairing, maintaining and reconditioning cooperage at Barrel Builders where French oak and American oak are used for wine barrels. He keeps his customers happy by fixing used barrels with the precise characters they are seeking, while breathing a new life into the barrels, and thereby infusing a part of him into the wine.
