OAK & GRAPEVINE EXTRACTS FOR WINE, SPIRITS & BEYOND
LISTENING CLOSELY TO DELIVER HIGH-PERFORMANCE, INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
A SUSTAINABLE, DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH
Nature is our daily source of inspiration.
For decades, our teams have developed unique expertise in the transformation of oak and now explore grapevine compounds, driven by a strong belief in their untapped potential. Rooted in French know-how, we capture their exceptional properties to support professionals seeking precision, consistency and sustainability.
Our approach is built on attentive listening and a deep understanding of your expectations, enabling us to design formulations that respond to real-world production constraints and market expectations.
Beyond existing solutions, we offer oak and grapevine in multiple formats – liquid and dehydrated extracts – combining performance with ease of use
CSR – SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL EXCELLENCE
COMMITMENT BACKED BY ACTION
Since 1970, Biossent has revealed the potential of oak and grapevine to create unique extracts. Rooted in living resources, our business naturally places environmental responsibility at the heart of everything we do.
This ambition is embodied in the Biossent Factory 4.0 project, a cornerstone of our CSR strategy.
People — employees, partners and clients — are central to this transformation. Automation and digitalization are implemented thoughtfully, improving quality of working life while ensuring excellence, traceability and food safety.
Biossent is committed to achieving FSSC 22000 certification by 2027.
Operating within a circular economy model, all raw materials are sourced exclusively from secondary processing streams. Co-products are fully valorised through horticultural mulching and energy production via methanization.
Committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Biossent continues to lower its energy consumption and transition toward fully electrified industrial processes. Once the new factory is operational, a new carbon footprint assessment will be conducted and communicated transparently.
