The winners of the Crémant Trophy 2025

The results are in! Falstaff's 2025 crémant tasting brought several surprises, with the entries from Luxembourg doing particularly well. Producing crémant since 1991, this small wine region of around 1200 hectares lies on the Moselle, but instead of slate, loamy limestone soils dominate – ideal for Burgundy. A prime example is Domaine Sunnen-Hoffmann, run by Marie Kox, the sixth generation to do so. Crémant has been bottled here since 2007, with the exact amount depending on the harvest. "In warm years there is more still wine, in cooler years more base wine for crémant," explains Kox. Back in 2001, the vineyard was the first in the Luxembourg Moselle region to switch to organic farming – which has given the wines even more subtlety. Their cuvée Étoile Filante is our Trophy winner.
