The organisers of Esch2022 - European Capital of Culture have announced the launch of a new vintage crémant in partnership with Domaines Vinsmoselle.

Within the context of this partnership between Esch2022 and Domaines Vinsmoselle, who have been supporting the European Capital of Culture for more than a year, a "Cuvée spéciale" of the traditional Luxembourg brand for crémant, POLL-FABAIRE, has been created. 

A foretaste of this special edition was given to members of the press at the end of October, after which it went into production and is now available to all crémant lovers. After the REMIX Opening on 26 February 2022, the Esch2022-Crémant will be available at all events hosted by the Capitale européenne de la culture 2022 asbl. To date, 10,000 bottles have been produced as part of this partnership, with 1,500 bottles to be made available free of charge at Esch2022 events next year.

"It is, of course, possible that a second series - of the same vintage - will be produced at a later date", explained Patrick Berg, General Manager of Domaines Vinsmoselle. "For us, working with the European Capital of Culture has been a matter very close to our hearts from the very beginning, as it has been the case already in the past. More than a year ago, we started working on the Cuvée spéciale for Esch2022 and we are very pleased with the final product, a 100% Luxembourg Moselle Crémant Brut of our POLL-FABAIRE brand".

"The fact that we have been working closely with Domaines Vinsmoselle from a very early stage makes me personally very happy. This is how a traditional Luxembourg company, which is also the market leader in this country and an integral part of the regional economic landscape, comes together with our sustainably oriented project, which, amongst others, is aiming to bring together culture and business in a meaningful way", added Anne-Catherine Richard, Head of Partnerships at Esch2022.

The "Cuvée spéciale" Esch2022 of POLL-FABAIRE (Domaine Vinsmoselle) is made from 100% Luxembourg Moselle grapes (grape varieties: Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc and Riesling). Bottle fermentation lasted a total of about 33 months.

The product is currently available for €12.95 at the wine store and online store of the Domaines Vinsmoselle, as well as in Cactus supermarkets. It will also be available in various other stores in Luxembourg and the Greater Region from 15 January 2022.
