About this wine
Les Émirs is the Cabernet-led flagship of Château St. Thomas, grown between the Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges at up to 1,200 metres, and named for the princes who once governed these mountains.
Decant thirty minutes before pouring.
Tasting notes
Deep, thick ruby red with garnet undertones. A complex bouquet of black and red cherry, plum, vanilla, spice and a touch of liquorice. Full bodied, persistent and well structured on the palate, with elegant, firm tannins and a richly textured finish. Twelve months in oak barrels followed by further time in bottle. Noble and sophisticated in character, and the wine that best shows what the Bekaa can do with Cabernet Sauvignon.
Goes with
Grilled red meats, lamb, beef, hearty stews, roasted vegetables, and mature cheeses.
