With her "ORCHARD" project, the young winemaker is embarking on the viticulture of tomorrow, while patiently listening to the echoes of the past and particularly to the family roots anchored in the vine, respect for the soil and biodiversity. Vitiforestry consists of planting trees in the middle of the rows of vines. This type of viticulture helps to remedy climate change by tempering excess heat, improving water and nutrient resources for the vines, restoring soil fertility within the plots and enhancing the biodiversity of flora and fauna.

On August 5, 2020, Domaine L&R Kox launched its annual grape harvest! This is the earliest start date in the winery's history. This being said, it is not a harvest of grapes for wine production, but for the first "verjuice" produced in Luxembourg. "Verjuice", you say? ... Forgotten for centuries, verjuice was an essential ingredient in many recipes in the Middle Ages.

The best of the brewing and winemaking world come together for a light and refreshingly smooth alliance.

In 2019, Domaine L&R Kox, in collaboration with Luxaviation Drone S.A., has been running a pilot project on the application of phytosanitary products by drone. Since 2021, the Domain has been participating, together with the University of Luxembourg, in a research and development project called "SESAME" (Secure and Safe Multi-Robot-Systems). The task is to develop and optimise systems for multiple interconnected robots. The project is co-financed by the EU with an investment of 7 million euros.

The first French-German-Luxembourgish sparkling wine – proof of the know-how and cooperation of European winegrowers from the Moselle valley.

Or even two ! Carlos, a horse with Ardennais qualities, and Billy, a Brabançon horse, work in the Kox vineyards. With their master, they weed and work the soil.

It has been more than a century that European vines became infested with fungal diseases imported from America, such as mildew or oidium. A vineyard contaminated with such a disease can see its production reduced to zero. This then explains why the use of phytosanitary products, in conventional and organic viticulture, is inevitable. To offset this situation, the Kox domain has planted PIWIs, a new family of grape varieties with strong resilience characteristics, thus requiring less treatment.

The Rhäifrensch, a fruity and mineral wine, is made thanks to the crushing of the grapes by foot. But what kind of variety is it ?

It was a research project of Leader « Miselerland » that prepared the return to barrels made of luxembourgish oak. These have always been recognised by the wood industry throughout Europe and long used in cooperage even though it was never recognised as such. Despite this, barrels made out of luxembourgish oak unfortunately disappeared from Luxembourg cellars. Until 2010…

Obviously we mean the grape variety Saint Laurent, and not our ‘cellar master’ ! In 2004, three enterprising and motivated winemakers, Laurent Kox one of them, decided to reintroduce a red variety which had disappeared from the Luxembourg vineyards since nearly a century. Since 2004, the Saint Laurent variety is replanted in our vineyards at Kolteschberg in Schwebsange and at Dieffert in Stadtbredimus.
