Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs).

Syria is a medium-sized country in the Western Middle East (also known as the Near East), located between the eastern edge of the Turkey/mediterranean">Mediterranean Sea and the deserts of Iraq. It has a small wine industry and is, like many of its neighbours, a traditional producer of arak. With Lebanon and Israel to the South, and Turkey to the North, Syria is at the eastern end of the Mediterranean wine regions. The country's most prominent winery is Domaine de Bargylus, which is located in the province of Latakia, on the slopes of the coastal mountain range (Mount Bargylus), north of Lebanon.
