It is a given that small wine producers know their vineyards and grapes at a much more personal level than larger producers. Greater care is given to the grapes, wines and the environment in which they are produced. The clean and chemical-free vineyards thus give the grapes characteristic flavors, unique to the Domain where they have grown.
OUR WINES
As described by the wine writer Michael Karam, Chateau Sanctus is today one of the most exciting wines in Lebanon.
Producing a wine of amazing diversity and quality, Chateau Sanctus has managed to create a new line of reds that have more roundness and intenseness of flavor in the fruit than what is available in the local market.

| Syrah 2006 | "Wild and wonderful nose of dried fruits. Needed time after decanting but patience paid off and the tannins and the black fruit were sublime". |
| Syrah 2008 | "Black velvet hue. A nose of pork meats and ham. Elegant and mature. In the mouth, the signature licorice has been marshaled into an expression of something more than just a flavor. It, along with the berry fruits and leathery spice, defines the character of the wine. Decant to fully enjoy". |
| Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 | "Rain drenched wood, mushrooms and bell peppers on the nose. Lush red fruits in the mouth and a deliciously velvet finish". |
| Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 | "Basil, black peppers and Parma ham on the nose. In the mouth the body is elegant and the fruits are ripe. A suave, grown-up wine". |
| Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, aged 12 to 24 months in oak barrels |
"A genuine iron fist in a velvet glove. Intense flavors with soft rounded fruits. Decanted for six hours, but worth the wait. The Bulgarian oak is a change". |
| Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, aged 12 to 24 months in oak barrels |
"Nose of smoked sausage, dried figs and raspberries. Needed time to settle, but evolved with savory flavors and black fruits in the mouth. Again the Bulgarian oak offers something different and earthy". |
| Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, aged 12 to 24 months in oak barrels |
"Notes of wild earthy fruits and wild spice. Idiosyncratic and sublime. Decanted, as it needed time to settle". |
| Grenache & Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, | "Nose of red roses. In the mouth, the wine is silky smooth with flavors of ripe black fruits, especially cassis, and bell peppers. A serious wine that needs decanting". |
