Ksara Blanc de Blancs 2022 — Lebanon
Producer: Château Ksara Region: Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
Grapes: 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Semillon
Alcohol: 13%
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale straw with fine, persistent mousse and a lively bead.
Aroma: Bright citrus (lemon peel, lime) up front, with green apple, white flowers, and subtle brioche from lees aging. Hints of minerality and wet stone.
Palate: Crisp and clean, driven by vibrant acidity. Flavors echo lemon, green apple, and pear, with gentle toast and creaminess on the mid-palate. Refreshing finish with a touch of salinity and citrus zest.
Food Pairing
Shellfish (oysters, shrimp cocktail), ceviche
Soft cheeses (brie, goat cheese), fresh chèvre
Light appetizers: smoked salmon blini, vegetable crudité, prosciutto-wrapped melon
Fried foods: tempura, fish and chips — acidity cuts through richness
Service
Serve chilled at 42–46°F
