Fresh and aromatic whites with an ample palate and preserved acidity despite the sun, on discreet aromas of white flowers (broom), citrus, exotic fruits, fennel and saline marine notes. Very late-ripening, retaining freshness in hot climates. Essential component of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, white Côtes-du-Rhône and Bandol blanc, and the absolute signature of La Clape AOC. Native southern French variety with very late ripening.
Lebanese high-altitude valley (~1,000 m), ~6,000 years of winegrowing, ~90% of the country's wine. Complex, age-worthy reds with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, garrigue, leather, cedar, oriental spices and a balsamic touch, firm tannins and long ageing — Cabernet for backbone, supple Cinsault, dense Carignan, fruity Grenache, peppery Syrah. Native whites Merwah and Obaideh, taut and mineral. Iconic Chateau Musar.
