Bernard-Massard
Bernard-Massard: a heritage of over 100 years in wine production in Luxembourg
Since its creation in 1921, Bernard-Massard has embodied Luxembourg viticulture. As the leading family producer of sparkling wines made using traditional methods, the company has become an essential reference point, exporting its vintages to more than 20 countries on five continents. With an annual production of nearly 3.5 million bottles, Bernard-Massard combines the expertise of five generations with innovation to offer wines with a unique character.
An integral part of Bernard-Massard, the "Thill," "Château de Schengen," and "Clos des Rochers" estates cultivate some of the best vineyards on the Moselle and are renowned for their Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris wines.
International recognition for Bernard-Massard wines
Several Bernard-Massard vintages have been recognized internationally, attesting to the exceptional quality of their wines. The Chardonnay vintage, for example, received a gold medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles in 2023. In addition, the winery was voted Best Producer in Luxembourg at the 2024 edition of the same competition, a distinction it also won in 2021 at the Mundus Vini Summer Tasting.
A story on the banks of the Moselle
Founded by Jean Bernard, a cellar master in Champagne, and his wife Anne Massard, the Bernard-Massard company has overcome many challenges over the decades. Drawing on his experience in Champagne, Jean Bernard chose to settle in Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, on the banks of the Moselle, to found a house dedicated to the production of sparkling wines. By the 1930s, annual production had reached 150,000 bottles with 45 employees.
Its Cuvée de l'Ecusson, launched in 1971 to mark the company's 50th anniversary, is one of its most iconic cuvées. It has helped to establish Bernard-Massard's position in the world of sparkling wine, making it an international benchmark.
The Bernard-Massard still wine range
In addition to its sparkling wines, Bernard-Massard offers a fine range of still wines. Riesling, the region's iconic grape variety, is distinguished by its freshness and minerality. The range also includes Pinot Noir, Auxerrois, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Ébling, and Rivaner.
For a responsible future with organic wines
Since 2020, the house has expanded its range by introducing an organic cuvée, affirming its commitment to a more sustainable future. These wines fully reflect the terroir and meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly products.
Importer of wines from around the world
The company has expanded its activities by becoming an importer of wines from around the world, with a wine library of more than 900 references. This wide selection allows customers to discover a varied range, from Luxembourg wines to international grands crus.
A local commitment for Bernard-Massard
Bernard-Massard is also deeply involved in local life in Luxembourg. The company supports events such as the Duck Race, a charity duck race that attracts thousands of participants every year. It is also a partner in numerous festivals, sporting and cultural events, thus contributing to the region's vibrancy.
Wine tourism is an important part of the company's activities. In Grevenmacher, Bernard-Massard welcomes visitors for tours of its cellars and tastings, where they can learn about the winemaking process and sample different vintages.
