The estate and the wine |
|
|
Solidly anchored in the Bekaa Valley since 1868, at an altitude of more than 1000 meters, the Domaine des Tourelles is one of the oldest estates in Lebanon, and one of the most respected. In organic culture, the 50 hectares supervised by Faouzi Issa (co-owner) allow the blossoming of very beautiful wines, among the most authentic of the Middle East, taking advantage of the most modern means and the most refined techniques of wine making.
This achievement is complemented by an extremely renowned arak production, the estate having the oldest distillery in Lebanon. |

From a terroir rich in clay and silt on a limestone substrate, vinified naturally in concrete tanks, the 2020 Red Bekaa Valley Domaine des Tourelles is a highly addictive wine! The charcoal and graphite notes of the Cabernet are worthy of the greatest Medocs and blend wonderfully with the spices of the Syrah. A magnificent symbiosis, full of freshness despite the latitude, which will surely seduce all lovers of great wines. |
