A pioneer of what was to become one of the greatest ambassadors of the land of the Cedars, the winery is more than ever on Lebanon\u2019s top list delivering one of the most exciting wines of the Middle East.

Fran\u00e7ois-Eug\u00e8ne Brun was born in the 19th century in Ch\u00e9zery (Ain \u2013 France). At an early age he moved from his village to Marseille where he settled. Young man, he was hired by an Ottoman company in charge of building the Beirut-Damascus road which lead Fran\u00e7ois-Eug\u00e8ne to Lebanon and more precisely to a village called Chtaura in the Bekaa Valley. Captivated by the plain\u2019s landscape that reminded him of his homeland, he decided to settle in Chtaura where he founded in 1868 Domaine des Tourelles. Hence, his winery became the first commercial cellar in Lebanon producing wines, arak (Lebanon\u2019s traditional alcoholic beverage) and other spirits.
