Wayne Dutschke makes some reasonable shiraz using french oak. Look for Oscar Semmler and St Jakobi - both through The Grateful Palate.

Mishy,
Just off the top of my head, I suspect the Penfolds RWT Shiraz would be one of the easiest and best 100% French oak Australian Shiraz you could source in Canada.
The Peter Lehmann Stonewell predominantly French (about 75%).
I am not sure of the smaller producers that you can get.

Magill Estate is usually a mixture of French and American oak with the French dominant, but this can vary pretty widely year to year (from 80/20 to 53/47)
How about Turkey Flat for a suggestion (if you can get it) - the 2002 had fermentation and maturation in 100% French oak.

Dutschke would be my choice as well. The 2002 St Jak was French (64%) and American oak (36%) hogsheads. The 2002 Oscar Semmler was new and one year old French Oak Hogsheads. Heathvale is predominantly French oak, but probably very hard to find in Canada. Wine Exchange in California has some.

Does anyone know whether this was a change for 02, or is it always/usually so? Asking because I have a few 01s.

I may be totally wrong but isn't Penfolds RWT Shiraz aged in French Oak ?

The Willow's Bonesetter from the Barossa aged in nice, seasoned French Oak. Get this wine in HK so maybe Canada too!
