About
Château Khoury Rêve Blanc 2022 is a brilliant and highly aromatic organic white blend born from a cross-cultural winemaking dream. Perched at 1,300 meters above sea level on the eastern foothills of Mount Lebanon in Dhour Zahlé, the family-run estate crafted this unique cuvée to honor Alsatian heritage. By combining distinct white noble grapes on steep clay-limestone terraces, the wine delivers a beautiful bridge between the intense alpine freshness of Mount Lebanon and traditional European structure.
Tasting Notes
Clear and bright clean wine, showing a beautiful pale gold color in the glass. The nose is instantly open, fresh, and expressive, bursting with generous aromas of pineapple and vibrant citrus fruits like tangerine and grapefruit. On the palate, the attack is soft, light, and lively, gracefully carrying notes of grapefruit woven with an exotic blend of rosewood and light spices. It demonstrates a wonderful natural acidity and balance, leading into a long finish that leaves a velvety texture and a thoroughly pleasant impression in the mouth.

Serving Suggestions
Serve thoroughly chilled at 8–10°C. It is highly recommended to open the bottle a bit before drinking; allowing the wine brief contact with the air helps it open up, unwind, and express its delicate alpine aromatics and exotic fruit profile much better.
Pairing
The bright acidity, light body, and highly aromatic framework make this wine incredibly versatile on the table. It serves as a perfect premium aperitif and pairs flawlessly with grilled fish, fresh seafood, and raw preparations like ceviche. It is equally elegant alongside traditional Lebanese mezze, light goat cheeses, pasta dishes, and wood-fired pizzas—as well as rich cold cuts or classic savory tarts.
