THE ESTATE
THE LUXEMBOURG MOSELLE REGION
The sun-drenched hillsides of the Luxembourg wine region extend 42 kilometres along the Moselle’s west bank between Schengen and Wasserbillig. Reaping all the benefits of a local microclimate and south-east to south-west facing slopes, its terroirs produce elegantly fresh wines that are the epitome of polished finesse.
CAVES DESOM
Caves Desom enjoys a setting combining natural splendour and timelessness, nestled between cliffs and the Moselle on the Esplanade in Remich.
The company seeks to amaze all its customers and visitors, whether amateurs or connoisseurs, by introducing them to the treasures of the terroir.
Four forward-looking generations
The family business was founded at the beginning of the 20th century.
Having started out as wine wholesalers, the family quickly decided to produce its own vintages, certain of the potential offered by the Luxembourg wine-growing region.
In 1925, it set up the Caves St Remy cellars in a magnificent 19th-century building in Remich. Over the years, the buildings have been altered and extended on numerous occasions. The family's wine estate has gradually expanded and now includes over 18 hectares spread across the Luxembourg Moselle's most renowned hillsides.
This progress has never diluted the initial family ethos of a company that strives to honour its legacy while retaining the ability to reassess and improve without ever losing touch with its heritage.
A good terroir, while essential, is worth nothing without human expertise and effort.
In addition to its own crop from the family estate, Caves Desom now also makes wine using grapes grown in a forty-hectare area and supplied by independent Moselle winegrowers.
Brothers Albert and Georges Desom and Albert's son, Marc Desom currently manage the company's operations and business.
