The Story of Ixsir
Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angelus is consultant for Ixsir where grapes are selected from the best terroirs throughout Lebanon, with a desire to sponsor sustainable development within growers’ communities. The winery is situated beneath a historic manor house in Basbina and its breath-taking blending of sleek modern lines with ancient heritage has seen it win awards for its green status. The Altitudes range of wines are named after the exceptional 1000-metre-plus terroirs of the Bekaa valley.
Tastes like...
Delicate and complex bouquet which balances an oaked aroma with red and black fruits. Notes of blackberry and blackcurrant blended with a touch of toasted oak flavours give the wine a soft and complex character.
