Château Marsyas

Spanning 55 hectares of high-elevation vineyards at the foot of Mount Barouk in the Bekaa Valley, Château Marsyas is a Lebanese winery founded the Saadé family in 2005. The family initially sought to establish an estate in Bordeaux, but a deep connection to their Levantine heritage ultimately led them back to Lebanon. There, they discovered the land that would become home to Château Marsyas. Planting densities in Lebanon typically average around 2,500 vines per hectare, but at Château Marsyas, vineyards are planted at 6,250 vines per hectare with the goal of enhancing concentration and complexity in the wines. During my tasting, I explored a broad selection of wines from these vineyards, including the single-variety Satyr collection, the B-Qā de Marsyas, and the flagship Château Marsyas, both white and red. Among them, one wine stood out: the red 2017 Château Marsyas. Full-bodied and distinctively spicy, this refined blend of Cabernet and Syrah showcases character and depth.
