Additional Information
About the Bernard-Massard Winery
Bernard-Massard is the main producer of sparkling wines in accordance with the "méthode traditionnelle" of Luembourg. A family business for five generations, the makers seek to create wines of impeccable quality, while respecting traditions and constantly opening up to social, environmental and qualitative progress.
The winery has been in existence for almost 100 years. Today the company is the leading family producer of still and sparkling wines in Luxembourg with a total production of nearly 3,500,000 bottles and has received many awards in international competitions for their wines.
The Luxembourg vineyard extends over 42 km on the slopes of the Moselle, with calcareous soils to the north and clay soils to the south of the appellation. This exceptional terroir is ideal for the production of outstanding fresh, fruity sparkling and still wines. The historic Caves Bernard-Massard building, located in Grevenmacher, in the northern part of the Luxembourg vineyard, houses the winery and maturing cellars.
