Massaya "Le Colombier" 2022
Producer: Massaya
Region: Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
Grape Blend: Grenache Noir 35%, Cinsault 35%, Tempranillo 30%
Vintage: 2022
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale to medium ruby with bright, clear edges.
Nose: Aromas of red cherries, ripe strawberries, and red currants, layered with floral notes (rose petal) and a hint of Provençal herbs. Subtle spice and light earthiness appear with aeration.
Palate: Light- to medium-bodied with lively acidity and soft, fine-grained tannins. Flavors echo the nose — fresh red fruit, a touch of cranberry zest, and delicate herbal undertones. A whisper of baking spice and gentle mineral streak rounds the midpalate. Smooth, clean finish with moderate length.
Food Pairing: Versatile with cold cuts and charcuterie, roasted poultry, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, Niçoise salad, and light tomato-based pasta. Excellent with a build-your-own charcuterie box featuring soft cheeses (Brie, goat cheese), pâté, olives, and crusty bread.
Serving: Best slightly chilled (55–60°F / 13–16°C). Drink now through 2028 for peak freshness; can develop subtle complexity with a few years of bottle age.
