Old-vine Carignan from one of the oldest wineries in the Arab world. Domaine des Tourelles was founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley; after the last Brun descendant died in 2003, the estate passed to the Issa and Issa el-Khoury families, with winemaker Faouzi Issa now running production alongside his twin sister Johanne and sister Christiane. The Carignan Vieilles Vignes comes from a fifty-plus-year-old block in the Amik vineyard at over 1,000 meters elevation, where Bekaa's relentless sun is moderated by altitude. Hand-harvested, indigenous-yeast fermented in concrete, aged two years in concrete — no oak, just fruit and rock and time. The result is a Carignan with vibrant acidity, structured tannin, and a sun-and-spice character that's unmistakably Mediterranean.

More about Domaine des Tourelles

Founded in 1868 by Frenchman François-Eugène Brun, Domaine des Tourelles is one of Lebanon's oldest wineries, on the western edge of the Bekaa Valley. Today the Issa family runs it, with Faouzi Issa making the wines from about 40 hectares at roughly 1,050 meters. Hand harvesting, native yeasts, minimal sulfur. Their old-vine Cinsault and Carignan are the stars: fresh, perfumed proof that these overlooked grapes can be thrilling in the right hands.

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb kofta with sumac and yogurt, slow-braised lamb shoulder with seven spices, eggplant moussaka, smoky baba ghanoush with pita, or aged sheep's milk cheese with a chunk of dark bread.

Tasting Profile

Cranberry, dried raspberry, licorice, Mediterranean herb, baking spice, and a smoky savory undertow. Medium-plus body, fine-grained tannins, vibrant high-altitude acidity, and a long, spicy, sun-warmed finish.
