The wine region of Côtes de Grevenmacher
Historic heart of the Luxembourg Moselle around Grevenmacher, schist and limestone terroirs on steep slopes, cool temperate climate. Riesling as the signature white king: taut and crystalline with intense notes of citrus, white peach, flint and a refined mineral-saline touch, straight acidity and superb ageing. Opulent Pinot Gris with stone fruits, supple Auxerrois and lively Elbling as complements. Vinsmoselle and Bernard-Massard as flagships.
The wine region of Moselle
France's most northerly AOC in Lorraine (2010), vineyards revived after phylloxera and the wars, clay-limestone and marly soils, harsh semi-continental climate. Auxerrois flagship native white (60% of whites): dry with green apple, citrus, white flowers and smoky mineral touch, tense thirst-quenching acidity. Full Pinot Gris, floral Müller-Thurgau and Gewürztraminer in whites. Fresh Pinot Noir rosés.
