Satȳr by Chateau Marsyas
Unoaked, Approachable Cab Sauv from Lebanon
“They will blossom as the vine, [and] their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.”
– The Prophet Hosea (780 – 725 BC)
From the storied region of Lebanon comes Château Marsyas, a winery under the guiding hands of brothers Sandro and Karim Saadé and led by their father, Johnny R. and legendary oenology consultant, Stéphane Derenoncour (who also consults for Classé Cru Bordeaux Châteaux including Smith Haut Lafitte and Les Carmes Haut-Brion!)
We’ve represented their core line and their ‘B-Qa’ wines for some years to great success, and are now extremely excited to bring on their most approachable red yet – the 2019 ‘Satyr’!
Château Marsyas ‘Satyr’ Red 2019
- Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
- 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Not certified organic but follows organic principles. No pesticides, no weed-killers. Cereal crops planted between rows to improve aeration of the soil and feed the soil with organic matter and good bacteria.
Produced from younger vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, this cuvée stands out by the complete absence of oak barrel aging, making it inherently approachable and thus allowing all interested imbibers to appreciate the quality of an easier to drink wine.
