Crémant de Luxembourg

A rectangular label on the rear of each bottle testifies to the wine's authenticity and quality based on an examination of its colour, clarity, bouquet and taste.

Wine imported from the Champagne region underwent the traditional process including a second fermentation in the bottle.

Mercier were able to benefit from Luxembourg's membership of the Zollverein for exports to Germany, avoiding the high taxes the Germans imposed on bottled sparkling wines from France.

In 1921, on the initiative of Paul Faber who gave his name to the Poll-Fabaire company, Luxembourg's wine producers became members of a national cooperative.

[3] Today the cooperative, known at Domaines Vinsmoselle has 350 members representing 65% of the total volume of wine produced or almost 800 hectoliters.
