| Description: | Wine maker notes Lebanon's Cinsault has been growing in the Bekaa Valley for more than a century. In this respect, and bearing in mind the other exciting grapes that make up the blend, Les Breteches is a quintessential Lebanese wine. With a finely spiced nose of blackcurrant and cherry, it reveals silky tannins and generous red fruits flavors. The launch of each vintage is celebrated with a limited edition label designed by a young Lebanese artist. Producer Located in the West Bekaa Valley, the large estate of Chateau Kefraya has been the Bustros family's property for generations.The castle is built starting 1946 on an artificial hill used by the Romans centuries ago to observe their troop movements. Founder and visionary Michel de Bustros undertakes massive works to implant Chateau Kefraya's vineyards on those magnificent hillsides. The first vines are planted in 1951 and in 1979 - despite the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) - Chateau Kefraya starts producing its own wine with its own grapes grown in its own vineyard and vinified in its own cellar.In the early 80's, "Les Coteaux de Kefraya" 1982 and 1983 win the winery's first international medals and Chateau Kefraya starts exporting its wines to France. In 1997, American wine critic Robert Parker awards Comte de M 1996 91/100, qualifying it "An amazing accomplishment in Lebanon". Today, Chateau Kefraya is present in more than 40 countries over the five continents. On the nose-over the top strawberry jam, black cherry compote, and wild flowers exploding, Powerful, one of the best under $15 noses I have witnessed. New world with earthy tones, a great mouth feel, impressive, full bodied and rich. |
