Chateau Belle-Vue is recognized as one of Lebanon’s premier boutique wineries and enjoys a cult following amongst US and European wine collectors. Belle-Vue blends are aged for at least seven years before release. Le Chateau, Belle-Vue’s fusion of Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage, provides immense complexity, depth, and balance. This over-a-decade-old blend provides sublime aromas of plum, cherry, and toasty oak. On the palate, it delivers soft-knit textures and swells of ripeness alongside a spiced-red fruit core with hints of cocoa and leather notes. Concentrated, long on the finish, and age-worthy, this is a winner across the board.
