Buy-back and redeployment: 3,200 HL transferred, 12 tonnes of CO₂ avoided thanks to sustainable reuse.

from bordeaux to burgundy — a bold wine project

The project began in Créon, at the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards — a region famed for its blended wines and prestigious grands crus. The stainless steel tanks were carefully dismantled and then transported to another iconic terroir: Burgundy, home to Maison Boisset, a house that has been cultivating its expertise for over 60 years. Connecting two emblematic winemaking regions through the reuse of equipment highlights the synergy between tradition, innovation, and expert logistics.

choosing pre-owned stainless steel tanks: performance meets sustainability

Stainless steel tanks, essential for storage and winemaking, ensure high levels of hygiene, durability, and long-term reliability. Opting for second-hand models allows you to :

• Maximize return on investment without compromising on quality
• Shorten lead times compared to new manufacturing
• Support the circular economy through the reuse of high-performance equipment

In this project, the repurposing of 3,200 hL of storage capacity comes with a measurable environmental benefit: 12 tonnes of CO₂ saved — the equivalent of the average annual emissions from several passenger vehicles.
