Last Sunday, 19 January 2025, the last exclusive guided tour of the Cuvée Millésimée Crémant LUGA took place, marking a key event in the LUGA ‘sow in 2023, harvest in 2025’ pre-programme. Organised in collaboration with Frënn vun der Festungsgeschicht Lëtzebuerg, the Institut Viti-Vinicole and the GOERES Group, this series of events offered visitors an immersion in Luxembourg’s history and terroir. They had the chance to discover the underground galleries of the casemates, while learning the secrets of ageing this exceptional cuvée.

A unique setting for flawless maturation

Since November 2023, 6,000 bottles of Cuvée Millésimée Crémant LUGA have been resting in the casemates of Kinnekswiss/Fort Royal, a magical and original place offering ideal temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions for maturing crémant. These special conditions allowed the crémant to develop a unique bouquet, imbued with the influences of our capital as well as of LUGA.

An unprecedented collaboration

This special cuvée is the result of an exceptional collaboration between several players in the wine sector. The Frënn vun der Festungsgeschicht Lëtzebuerg association, the Fonds de Solidarité Viticole and the three Moselle winegrowers’ groups (Organisation Professionnelle des Vignerons Indépendants, Domaines Vinsmoselle and the Fédération Luxembourgeoise des Vins et Spiritueux) have joined forces to create this unique cuvée. Supported by LEADER Miselerland, the Institut Viti-Vinicole (IVV) and LUGA asbl, this collaboration represents a real act of unity for Luxembourg’s winegrowers and oenologists. This project highlights the unity and expertise of the various winegrowers who have worked together to produce this exceptional crémant.

A tasting experience not to be missed

After several months of maturation, the bottles will be taken out at the end of January to be stirred, disgorged and bottled. These crucial stages will mark the end of their ageing process, and they will be ready for the opening of the LUGA. This long-awaited moment will be celebrated by an exceptional tasting, where wine lovers will be able to savour the fruit of this collaborative work and discover all the richness of this Crémant LUGA vintage cuvée.
