In the 2014 vintage, ripe fruit and spice have come together in a profile shaped by time: black cherry and clove, lifted by white pepper and a subtle earthy note. Velvety tannins give the wine breadth without obscuring its spicy character, while 24 months in French oak barrels help bring the blend together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabernet Franc contributes aromatic definition, complementing Syrah’s darker, more savoury character. Now more than a decade old, this is a wine to explore for the interplay of mature fruit, softened tannins and the nuances developed in bottle.

Its blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon gives the 2014 vintage a different character from Le Château: less focused on spice, with greater emphasis on fruit and earthy nuances. The nose brings together ripe red and dark fruit, orange peel and toasted almond. On the palate, supple tannins and well-integrated oak frame notes of cocoa, with a mineral hint reminiscent of flint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mountain setting is an important part of this wine’s identity. The Merlot grows on west-facing terraces, while Cabernet Sauvignon is planted at higher elevations, mainly on northeast-facing sites. This division allows the estate to combine Merlot’s breadth with Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure. Twenty-four months in French oak barrels bring the elements together without overwhelming the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Bhamdoun, high in the Mount Lebanon mountains, Naji Boutros set out to revive his family’s vineyards in the early 2000s, planting the first vines in April 2000 among the ruins of his great-grandfather’s former hotel.

Its name means “small gesture” and recalls the wine’s modest beginnings, when the first harvest yielded just 350 bottles. The estate also shares a very practical anecdote: the village birds developed a taste for perfectly ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes, making harvest something of a race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier brings together two complementary profiles: the former’s freshness and citrus notes, and the latter’s floral character and white-fruit aromas. Petit Geste shows pear, white peach and floral notes, with a rounder texture than a classic Sauvignon Blanc.
