The Caves Bernard-Massard were founded in 1921. Jean-Bernard-Massard, a young oenologist who had started his career as a cellar master in Champagne came to the banks of the Moselle River in Luxembourg and created a firm with Bernard Clasen and several other wineloving friends

The company's main activity was, and still is, the production of fine méthode champenoise sparkling wines. However, the firm also has a long history of producing great white Luxembourg wines.

From the very outset, the free trade agreement between Luxembourg and Belgium gave the firm an international orientation. Exports have not stopped growing ever since, and our firm is well-known and respected among European wine professionals.

Bernard-Massard is one of a small number of suppliers to the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
