Tribute to the Phoenicians who used to grow their vineyards in the same Bekaa Valley more than 4000 years ago, the labels of Comte de M and Comtesse de M portray our ancestors who invented the first alphabet and used to export wine around the Mediterranean Sea.
A careful selection of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes - grown on an area limited to 9 hectares at 1100 meters of altitude - is specially dedicated to Comte de M. Aged up to 24 months in French oak barrels, this dark purple-colored wine is a complex bouquet of black fruits and cedar wood.
It is finely smooth on the palate, with elegant and melted tannins. Subtle balance between fine oak and inherent fruit, it was first noticed by Robert Parker who rated Comte de M 1996 91 points and more recently 93 points on vintage 2012.
