Château Marsyas Red 2017 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon

Château Marsyas Red 2017 is one of Lebanon's finest Bordeaux-inspired wines, crafted in the high-altitude vineyards of the Bekaa Valley by the Saadé family. Situated at approximately 900 meters above sea level on red clay and limestone soils, the estate consistently produces wines of remarkable elegance, freshness, and longevity.

The 2017 vintage benefited from a cool growing season with moderate summer temperatures that allowed the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining exceptional freshness. The result is a beautifully balanced wine that combines richness with finesse.

The blend is composed of:

  • 35% Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 30% Syrah
  • 20% Cabernet Franc
  • 10% Merlot
  • 5% Petit Verdot

Hand-harvested grapes undergo meticulous double sorting before the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 20% new oak and the remainder in one- to four-year-old barrels, adding complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

Deep ruby-purple in color, Château Marsyas 2017 opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, paprika, cracked black pepper, fresh mint, and subtle licorice. The palate is powerful yet polished, offering layers of ripe dark fruit wrapped in velvety tannins. Notes of spice, cedar, graphite, and herbs lead into a long, refined finish accented by hints of licorice and savory minerality.

This is a sophisticated Mediterranean red that beautifully combines Bordeaux structure with Rhône-inspired richness, making it one of Lebanon's benchmark wines.
