The Kox family have been cultivating their rich vineyards for generations, their house and first wine cellar were built on the estate in 1909. The winery was founded in 1977 by Laurent and Rita Kox, when they took over the family’s business in order to transform it from a grape cultivating to a wine making domain. Today, the family has expanded the winery to 10 hectares and produces typical and atypical Mosel wines. Short macerations and low to no added sulphites for light and fresh Mosel wines. Corinne is now holding the reins at L&R Kox, and doing really incredible things. Luxembourg is a good place to be a winemaker. It's a northern region that, recently, has been smiled on by a warming climate. You are growing grapes along the famous and storied Mosel river. You share in a community of winemakers producing world-class wines with a continual eye towards progression and perfection. In this regard, the tiny winemaking region of Luxembourg is unparalleled in the world. Pound for pound, there is no region that completely operates at such a level of quality, idiosyncrasies concerning style aside.
