Crémant de Luxembourg

Luxembourg has a long tradition of sparkling winemaking, and its particularly acid wines were at one time valued as base wines for sekt. The Crémant de Luxembourg appellation was created in 1991, following the INAO rules laid down for French wines. Permitted grape varieties are Elbling, Pinot Blanc, Rivaner (Müller Thurgau), Auxerrois, Chardonnay, and Riesling for white wines, Pinot Noir for rosé.
