Liban

Lebanon boasts one of the oldest wine regions in the world, with a winemaking history spanning several millennia. Buying Lebanese wine means discovering wines that blend tradition and modernity, crafted on steep terroirs and benefiting from an ideal Mediterranean climate. Lebanese wines are characterized by their balance, elegance, and their ability to express the richness of their soils and indigenous grape varieties.

Vineyards between mountains and sea

Lebanese vineyards are concentrated mainly in the Bekaa Valley, perched between mountains and close to the Mediterranean Sea. The warm and sunny Mediterranean climate, tempered by cool nights, allows grapes to ripen fully while maintaining acidity and aromatic freshness. The varied soils, ranging from limestone to alluvium, bring structure and minerality to the wines.

Emblematic grape varieties and wines

Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon are widely used red grape varieties, producing balanced, fruity, and spicy wines. Merlot and Syrah complete the palette for more powerful and structured reds. On the white side, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Viognier offer fresh, aromatic, and very digestible wines. Lebanese winemakers also incorporate indigenous grape varieties like Obeïdi to produce delicate and elegant whites.

Characteristics of Lebanese wines

Lebanese wines are distinguished by their balance, finesse, and aromatic richness. Reds can be supple and fruity or powerful and complex depending on the grape varieties and terroirs. Whites offer freshness, minerality, and liveliness, perfect for aperitifs or Mediterranean dishes. The influence of the mountains and the sea gives the wines an elegant and very pleasant profile to taste.
