The wine region of Coteaux de Schengen
Luxembourg AOP south of the Moselle (around Schengen, junction of Luxembourg/Germany/France), limestone, marl and Keuper soils, semi-continental temperate climate. Auxerrois is the signature white: dry and round with pear, apple, white flowers and a honeyed note, moderate acidity — a Luxembourg emblem. Full Pinot Blanc, taut Riesling, spiced Pinot Gris and fresh Rivaner among the whites. Airy Pinot Noir as red.
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.
The word of the wine: Mercaptan
Organic compound resulting from the combination of alcohol and sulphide (H2S) producing an unpleasant odour reminiscent of town gas and rotten eggs.
