Product Notes

Château Ksara Chardonnay Cuvée du Pape is a prestigious white wine from Lebanon's oldest winery, exuding elegance and subtlety. It reveals a bouquet of ripe fruits, hazelnut and vanilla, exuberant on the palate, with hints of toast, butter and honey. The balance between its full-bodied richness and refreshing acidity makes for a delightful drinking experience. Aged in French oak barrels, the Cuvée lends a pleasant woody note that further enhances its flavour. Its superb length and lingering aftertaste serve as testament to its exceptional quality. It pairs remarkably well with seafood and white meats.
