Please introduce yourself
My name is Mike Welter and I am the sales manager of Bernard-Massard, the most important family-run producer of sparkling wines in Luxembourg. Together with our two partner wineries, the Clos des Rochers and the Château de Schengen, Bernard-Massard is one of the best white wine producers of the Luxembourg Moselle.
Caves Bernard-Massard are a family business in the 5th generation.
Yes, exactly. In 1921, Jean Bernard founded the Bernard-Massard company, named after him and his wife Anne Massard. After working as a cellar master in Champagne, Jean returned to Luxembourg with the know-how he had acquired in the prestigious houses of Reims and Epernay for professional and private reasons. He created the new company on the banks of the Moselle with the aim of producing sparkling wines according to the Champagne method (now called the ‘traditional method’). Bernard-Massard still uses this method today.
What do you value in winemaking?
As a family business, it is our vocation to produce cuvées of the highest quality. We attach great importance to respecting tradition while being open to social, environmental and qualitative advances. Day after day, our teams in the vineyards and cellars strive to fulfil their one desire: to offer the tasters of our wines a treat for the palate.
For over 100 years, we have remained faithful to the values and entrepreneurial spirit of our founders. With great passion and a continuous quest for qualitative improvement, our team creates and distributes outstanding cuvées and fine Luxembourg wines every year.
