chauffe

Lors de la commande, l'utilisateur (vigneron, négociant) précise le niveau de chauffe en fonction de l'usage qu'il vent en faire.

Winemakers can order barrels with the wood on the inside of the barrel having been lightly charred or “toasted” with fire, medium toasted, or heavily toasted.

Example sentence:

La barrique et sa chauffe ont une très grande influence sur le goût du vin qui y sera élevé.

Note from asker:

"char" as an abbreviation for "character"??
What type of text is it? Could it be a bit coloquial?
