Winemaking & Tasting Notes

Four carefully selected varietals are grown on a mosaic of terroirs, on the slopes of the Jezzine mountain ridge, situated at 1,300-meter altitude in Southern Lebanon. The Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, come together in an uncommon blend, a subtle liquid work of art, with a wide spectrum of aromas and a supremely velvety palate. This unfiltered wine offers outstanding balance and structure, making it perfect for ageing or immediate enjoyment. In the aft palate, it offers fruit-filled length.

Food Pairing: Gravy dishes of duck, lamb and hard cheeses

Named after François-Eugène Brun, Arak Brun might be the world’s most famous arak! Its production has been uninterrupted since the inception of the winery in 1868. It is made from the alcohol of estate grown Obeidi and Cinsault grapes, harvested at optimum ripeness, and blended with fresh anise. Since 2015, Domaine des Tourelles grows its own anise in Deir el Ahmar, a village in the district of Baalbek. Their arak is produced inside a hundred-year-old cellar, processed traditionally using a three-stage distillation in traditional alembics, and aged in clay jars.

Arak is not sweetened.

Serve with water – ice can be added.
