Château Marsyas 2009



We knew the Marsyas of Greek mythology, a little satyr who challenged Appolo to a concert of music, clearly revealing the influence of Dionysos, the god of wine who used to sip it while listening to Muses sing… 
We now know Marsyas, the wine of the Saade family. Karim and Sandro composed this harmonious melody in the beautiful village of Kefraya, with the help of Stephane Derenoncourt, one of the most famous flying winemakers of the wine planet. 
They succeeded in combining the modern character of great international crus with the Middle Eastern tradition, thus reflecting their solid family anchorage in the region. 

With this exceptional red wine, you will taste the Beqaa Valley itself, which was called the Marsyas Valley in ancient times. — with Château Marsyas.

Domaine de Baal 2009


Certainly one of the most talented winemakers of his generation, Sebastien Kounry has chosen Dhour Zahle to grow his organic grapes. He delicately tunes wines that are like himself, elegant and generous. Try Domaine de Baal white 2009 or 2010, and you will surely taste what Lebanon gives best!
