POLL-FABAIRE’s Esch2022-Crémant now available

Right in time for the festive season and at the end of the 30th anniversary year of POLL-FABAIRE, the vintage crémant for Esch2022 is now on sale

Within the context of the 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. The Esch2022 Crémant "brut" is made from 100% Luxembourg Moselle grapes and is currently available at the wine store of the Domaines Vinsmoselle, the Cactus stores and at the Domaines Vinsmoselle online store. It will also be available in all well-stocked stores in Luxembourg and the cross-border region from 15 January 2022.

A foretaste of the special edition was given at the Press Day on October 28 at the Rockhal in Esch-Belval, 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. For now, 10.000 bottles have been produced as part of the partnership between Domaines Vinsmoselle and Esch2022; 1.500 bottles will be made available free of charge for Esch2022 events next year.

"It is, of course, possible that a second series - of the same vintage - will be produced at a later date," says 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," says Anne-Catherine Richard, Head of Partnerships at Esch2022.
