Château Musar

Chateau Musar is a renowned wine producer based in Ghazir, Lebanon, just north of the capital Beirut, producing a range of wines from vineyards in the Bekaa Valley, and best-known for its eponymous grand vin: Chateau Musar. Gaston Hochar set up the vinery after traveling through Bordeaux, and today the old vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsaut, Carignan and indigenous Lebanese white grapes Obaideh and Merwah.

The 2013 vintage is a bright ruby red color with a nose of dark forest fruits, cassis and black cherries. There are also aromas of leather, tobacco and sweet spices. The palate is enriched with blackberry and mulberry fruit, plums and blackcurrant leaf. With layers of sweet spices such as cinnamon and subtle notes of coffee bean. This wine is well balanced and elegant with soft velvety
integrated tannins.
