Insider tip
IXSIR's limestone-terroir reds are the standout—ask specifically for their Château Saint-Jean bottlings, which show more complexity than their flagship cuvées. Visit the Batroun cellars the day before the festival when Phoenician-era wine caves are open for private tastings without crowds.
