A rich history started by one man’s vision: Bernard-Massard’s wines owe their reputation to the visionary Jean Bernard-Massard. This young and brilliant oenologist made his first wines in the Champagne region where he worked as a cellar master. Back in Luxembourg in 1921, he was driven by the idea to cultivate the soils along the Moselle river, an enormous wine potential which had not yet been fully exploited. To fulfil his dream, Jean Bernard-Massard surrounded himself with some wine enthusiastic friends and could count on the entrepreneurial vision of Bernard Clasen, a lawyer born in the Moselle region. Together they founded what would become the main private wine producer of Luxembourg in the coming decades.
