Coteaux Du Liban: A Family Tradition in the Bekaa Valley

Nestled in the picturesque Bekaa Valley, Coteaux Du Liban is a family-owned winery located just outside Zahle, Lebanon. This estate honors the rich heritage of the Phoenicians and Romans, producing exceptional red, white, and rosé wines that reflect the region's unique terroir.

In addition to their exquisite wines, Coteaux Du Liban also crafts traditional Lebanese Brandy, Eau de Vie, and Lemoncello.

Meet the Winemaker

Coteaux Du Liban was founded by Nicolas Abou-Khater, a passionate oenologist who graduated from the University of Burgundy. After his passing in 2009, his wife Roula and son Roland took over the winery. Despite her background as a pianist, Roula dedicated herself to maintaining the winery's legacy. Today, she and Roland proudly showcase the exceptional wines that highlight the Bekaa Valley's terroir.

Grape Varieties and Winemaking Process

Spanning 15 hectares, Coteaux Du Liban cultivates a diverse selection of grape varieties, including Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache. Other notable grapes include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Viognier, and Obeidy. The winery practices minimal intervention in the vineyards, allowing nature to guide the growth process. Handpicking the grapes at peak ripeness ensures the highest quality.

In the cellar, meticulous attention is given to fermentation and aging. Coteaux Du Liban utilizes stainless steel tanks equipped with cooling systems, while maturation occurs in oak barrels to preserve the wine's aromas and flavors. This careful approach results in wines that truly represent the essence of the Bekaa Valley.

One of the best winery visit ever, the business is family owned and you can truly tell that they love what they do. The owner spent extra time explaining us the story of the winery and the different wines (which by the way are really good!). Definitely worth a visit!
