We meet Antoine Clasen, Director and great-great-grandson of one of the founders, in the hushed atmosphere of Bernard-Massard\u2019s cellars in Grevenmacher. We discuss his career, pivotal moments in the history of this family business, and the impact of climate change on production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then head to Clos des Rochers to continue our conversation amidst the estate\u2019s vineyards. It\u2019s the perfect setting to talk about cr\u00e9mants and wines, the international success of the brand, as well as succession, travel and inspiring encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A passionate conversation with a charismatic, enthusiastic man who loves producing quality products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

BIL has always been quite close to Bernard-Massard (…). We are a company that invests heavily in infrastructure and the bank has always been there for us when we needed it. Another positive is that we still know a lot of people at BIL (…), we still have access to people \u2013 whether from Luxembourg or abroad \u2013 and a very easy relationship.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
