Domain - Domaine Kox

History

1909

Our rich vineyards have been cultivated by the Kox family for generations. The family house, as well as the first wine cellar as it still stands today, were built in Remich in 1909.

1919

Even though wine making was part of the Kox family history and tradition, it was François Kox (1919-2004), father of the current owner, who was the first family member to make it his profession by becoming grape producer.

1977

After studies of viticulture in Luxembourg, Trier and Bad Kreuznach in Germany, Laurent Kox (1955-) returns to Remich in order to perfect his know-how on his father’s 7,5 hectares of vines. In the same year (1977), he takes over the family’s business in order to transform it into a real wine growing and wine making domain: from mastering the vines to the production and commercialisation of wines and Crémants (sparkling wines).

Always looking for improvements, the Domain is diversifying and exploring new avenues, most recently beekeeping. Putting in place several beehives helps to enhance biodiversity in our vineyards.

PASSION, RESPECTING THE VINEYARD, CREATIVITY AND OENOLOGICAL COMPETENCE

These four key words summarise the approach of the family-owned Domain Laurent & Rita Kox, situated in the small picturesque town of Remich on the left bank of the Moselle river. Laurent, son of the Domain’s founder, early on loved to spend time in the hillsides above Remich and to live the cycle of the vines’ grapes. He fulfilled his dream by converting his hobby into profession. The innovative Kox Domain always looks into the latest technological solutions in order to bring about the best qualities of the Riesling - the aristocrat of the Luxembourg white wines - the strength of the Pinot Blanc, the smoothness of the Auxerrois or the femininity of the Gewürztraminer. At the same time, there is a wish to revive certain traditional methods of wine making. In short : a unique know-how combining tradition and modernity. The Kox family perpetuates this in-house tradition while looking for excellence in its wines.
