About
Domaine Saint Gabriel L'Archange 2020 is a premium, certified organic red blend that showcases a deeper, more structured side of the estate's high-altitude terroir. Crafted from a unique and delicate selection of Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the clay, gravel, and silt slopes of Ghalboun, this cuvée offers an intense, beautifully layered expression of Mount Lebanon winemaking.
Tasting Notes
Deep and intense color in the glass. The nose is complex and highly aromatic, evolving into complex undertones of cocoa and licorice. On the palate, it is warm, ample, and robustly structured, balancing a good tannic framework with a distinctive touch of mineral freshness. The finish is remarkably round, elegant, and very persistent. Decanting is required before serving.
