Our Russian Cooper is Seguin Moreau
Bottle forest references are detailed below:

LINE OF SAPCE
Forest 2: Minnesota forest Northern America chosen for its tight grain from its cold climate and its boldness as American Oak.  Commonly know as white oak American oak differes from French Oak as a different species Quercus. Alba where the French species is Quercus. Sessils. White oak provides a solid tannin structure giving liveliness as well as providing pronounced oak lactones of Vanilla, cedar and spice, which can add to the power and body of a wine.

LINE OF SPACE
Forest 3: Caussian forest Russia chosen for its contrast as the 'tighter' nautral oak being the same species grown throughout Europe but which is subjected to much colder temperatures resulting in a much tighter grain than its American & French siblings.  Being a tighter grain it should provide a more balanced structure and restrained influence of Oak lactones compared to Minnesota Oak.
