Domaine des Tourelles was founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun and is one of the most highly acclaimed and oldest wineries still operating in Lebanon. It was also the first commercial cellar in 'modern' Lebanon to produce wines, arak and other spirits. This place has history!
Domaine des Tourelles Marquis des Beys Syrah Cabernet blend is an example of how well these varietals perform in the high altitude Bekaa. Clean, fruit driven and intriguing. Stylish and sophisticated, this really highlights the potential for quality in Lebanon. Produced from specially selected parcels of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it has a deeply red garnet hue with darkly intriguing brambly fruit and spice nose. It’s densely packed with sumptuous flavours of blackcurrants and chocolate with a pure, crunchy, fine core. It’s a very more-ish with fine tannins that help retain its freshness. A wonderful wine to pair with herb roasted lamb shank or vegetarian lentil and smoky stew.
