Dom. des Tourelles Bekaa Blanc '21

This Lebanese white blend shines pale gold with green reflections. The nose enchants with white peach, jasmine, and a distinctive waxy note reminiscent of beeswax candles. The palate offers surprising weight for its freshness, with flavors of ripe pear, lemon curd, and a saline minerality that speaks to its high-altitude terroir. Fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts and partial skin contact, it earned 91 points for its textural complexity. The finish lingers with chamomile tea and wet stone. Pair with grilled sea bass or mezze platters featuring hummus and labneh. The Bekaa Valley's cool nights preserve vibrant acidity despite the region's warm days.
