Tasting Notes
"Founded by French expat, François-Eugène Brun in 1868, Domaine des Tourelles is the oldest winery in Lebanon. Today, Brun’s adventurous spirit lives on in the estate’s chief vigneron, Faouzi Issa. This aromatic white blend of 65% Viognier, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Obeidi, and 5% Muscat d’Alexandrie is grown in the ideal conditions of the Bekaa Valley. It’s harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless steel for ten days with a gentle fining before bottling. Crisp and clean with aromas of succulent peach and apricot with white pepper, jasmine, and orange blossom that emerge on the nose followed by a silky, slightly viscous mouthfeel with pomelo, pineapple and a hint of almond bitters on the finish. Pair with sautéed shishitos or sea bass and broccoli on saffron rice."
