The story of VAUX begins with… the founding of Schloss VAUX in 1868, in Berlin. In the years that followed, the company acquired Château de VAUX, located on the Moselle near Metz, along with an extended stretch of vineyards. These would become the foundation for a German “sekt house.” For over forty years, Château de VAUX, located in the village of VAUX, also held the company’s sekt cellars. After the first world war, however, German property owners were forced to leave France. The manufacturing base was shifted to Eltville on Rhine, known as the city of roses. Schloss VAUX turned its focus to the fantastic terroir of the Rheingau and the production of fine sparkling wines.
