I think they mean ''alèse en bois massif''.

Alèse = edge banding

From the wikipedia article:

Edge Banding or Edgebanding can be made of different materials (PVC, ABS, acrylic, melamine, wood or wood veneer). It is used in carpentry and furniture-making. Edge banding is used to cover the exposed sides of materials such as plywood, particle board or MDF, giving the appearance of a solid (or more valuable) material.
