Description

Château Musar was established by Gaston Hochar in 1930 and is without doubt Lebanon's top wine estate. Few properties have consistently produced such high quality wines in the face of adversity and war, and it is a testament to the sheer will and determination of the Hochars that wine has been produced every single year, bar 1976 and 1984.

The property is located in Ghazir, in Beeqa (aka Bekaa) Valley, 15 miles north of Beirut. The vineyards benefit from an altitude of around 1000 metres and the subsequent cool nights serve to lengthen the crucial ripening process.

The red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. Serge Hochar, who has been involved with the property since 1959, states that the Cabernet Sauvignon provides "the bones and the skeleton to the wine, the Carignan the flesh and muscle and the Cinsault the silky smooth finesse".

Musar wines are unique in that Hochar blends the varietals only after they have spent three years in barrels and then waits a further four years before releasing the end result. This gives time for each variety to unfold its own character. The wines are extremely long-lived, with the best examples lasting for 20-30 years.

Review by wineanorak.com
A brick red colour with a browning rim. There's a smoky, roasted character to the nose, along with sweet, spicy, herby notes. The palate is beginning to dry out a little, but shows attractive leathery, tea-like elements with some tannins and spice. Complex stuff, but beginning to develop that 'old wine' taste. I prefer them a bit younger than this, but still it's an interesting savoury wine. Very good+
