Vieilles Vignes 2017
Vieilles Vignes
Vieilles Vignes
Sensual cherry with vanilla spice.
The Vieilles Vignes 2017 presents itself in a deep cherry red color with violet reflections, which reflects the concentration and maturity of this wine.
The nose is enchanted by intense aromas of red fruits such as juicy cherry and ripe plum, accompanied by subtle notes of spices and a hint of tobacco.
A soft and elegant texture unfolds on the palate. The fruit aromas continue and mingle with hints of vanilla and a soft, well-integrated tannin structure. The finish is long and seductive.
The Vieilles Vignes 2017 was aged with dedication and care in oak barrels to shape its complex personality. The combination of French and American oak gives the wine a subtle spiciness and a fine vanilla note.
In Lebanon's oldest commercial winery, Faouzi Issa and his family grow wines like those in Bordeaux. At an altitude of over 1,000 meters. In the desert.
Even in pre-Roman times, Lebanese wine was considered a sought-after commodity. This tradition was kept alive by French Jesuits during the centuries of Muslim rule. This is how the Frenchman Francois-Eugène Brun fell in love with the Bekaa Valley in 1868 and founded the first commercial winery in Lebanon, Domaine des Tourelles (French: tourelles = little tower). The winery is now owned by the Issa family (relatives of the Brun family) and is largely managed and run by the younger generation, Faouzi Issa and his sisters Christiane and Johanne.
