The longer a wine is in barrel the more oxygen it is exposed to (versus a sealed stainless vessel). Oak is porous.

Doesn't vin jaune go into barrels/casks that aren't filled to the rim, which is to say there is air/oxygen inside the barrel/cask itself so it doesn't need to permeate the wood from outside?
