Chateau Marsyas Red

$64.99

Château Marsyas Red 2015 is effectively a Bordeaux blend with some Syrah added.. On the nose, the Cabernet Sauvignon dominates while the Syrah delivers some black fruit notes. The Cabernet Franc contributes some spice and the Petit Verdot an unmistakable freshness. On the palate, sensations of black fruit, pepper and even licorice give way to powerful, silky tannins. The whole is particularly alluring.

A great success that justifies the involvement of Karim and Sandro Saadé, the owners of this Lebanese château, who are also present in Syria with the remarkable Domaine de Bargylus. In this adventure, the two brothers are advised by French winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt, who took part in choosing the plots as well as the grape varieties, before supervising their vinification from the first vintage released in 2007. Château Marsyas spreads out over 55 hectares in the heart of the Bekaa (whose name it borrows from ancient Greek), an alluvial plateau at an altitude of 900 meters bordered by the mountains of Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon. In these iron-rich soils, where limestone outcrops everywhere, the vines plunge deep into the soil in search of humidity, while benefiting from exceptional sunshine.
