Marquis des Beys is a red from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, blended from 50% Syrah and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 20 to 25 year old vines are dry-farmed in gravel soil with a clay subsoil, at 1,050 meters (3,445 feet) above sea level. Grapes come from the best parcels and are harvested by hand into small boxes. Each variety ferments separately in concrete vats for 10 days, with spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The blend then ages 18 months in French oak, one third new, one third one year old and one third two years old. The wine is dark purple with cedar aromas, and it is 14% alcohol.
François-Eugène Brun came from France to work on the Beirut-Damascus road and set up Lebanon's first winery in the Bekaa Valley in 1868. Louis and Pierre Brun followed him. Today Domaine des Tourelles is run by the Issa and Issa el Khoury families, the country's youngest winemaking team at its oldest winery.
