DOMAINE DES TOURELLES

Founded in 1868 by François-Eugène Brun, around the turn of the Millenium his descendants sold the winery to longtime family friends Elie Issa, and Nayla Kanaan Issa-el-Koury - a relative of the Brun family. Today, the winery is managed by the next generation. Faouzi Issa is Managing Director and winemaker. He studied agricultural engineering, and winemaking in France prior to working at Domaine Renée Rostaing in Côte Rôtie and Château Margaux in Bordeaux. In 2008 he returned home to take over Domaine des Tourelles. Vineyard management is organic, with low intervention winemaking.
