Domaine des Tourelles Cinsault Vieilles Vignes 2022
Vintage Character
The Domaine des Tourelles Cinsault Vieilles Vignes 2022 from the Bekaa Valley showcases the outstanding potential of Lebanon's historic terroir. The 2022 growing season was characterized by a warm, dry summer, yet the remarkable 1,050-meter altitude of the vineyards ensured cool night temperatures that preserved a vibrant, balancing acidity in the grapes. Grown on ancient, dry-farmed bush vines over 50 years old, the grapes thrive in gravelly clay-limestone soils, yielding a wine of profound depth, minerality, and distinctive regional character.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this pure Cinsault reveals enticing aromas of wild strawberries, red cherries, and dried pomegranate, complemented by complex notes of white pepper, liquorice, and earthy undertones. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied and beautifully textured, displaying supple, silky tannins and a refreshing, bright acidity that carries into a long, savory finish. It pairs exquisitely with roasted duck breast, spiced grilled lamb chops, or a rich eggplant moussaka.
Winery Background
Established in 1868 by François-Eugène Brun, Domaine des Tourelles is one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in the Middle East. Under the guidance of co-owner and winemaker Faouzi Issa, the estate champions traditional Lebanese winemaking by utilizing native wild yeasts and fermenting in historic concrete vats with minimal oak contact. This hands-off philosophy allows their low-yielding, hand-harvested old vines to express their pure, unadulterated varietal heritage, setting a benchmark for premium Mediterranean winemaking.
