Chateau Musar Red Bek’aa Valley, Lebanon – 2019
CHF 45.00
Founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar, Chateau Musar is THE flagship winery of Lebanon. Their vineyards are planted at 1,000mts altitude on bush vines between 30 and 60 years old. Certified organic since 2006, all work is done by hand in the vineyards and no irrigation is used during the growing season to optimise the expression of each different terroir.
Chateau Musar Red is a blend of one third Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravel soils, one third Cinsault grown on limestone soils and one third Carignan from silty soils.
The 2019 vintage is dark, broody and spicy and blood red in colour. The aromas are blueberry, cranberry and blackcurrant with black olives and a touch of cloves, these follow through to the palate with added cherries, plum and spice. There is also a note of black pepper and it finishes with a good level of acidity and fine integrated tannins. It is a well balanced wine, mature and ready for drinking upon it’s release at 7 years of age and has excellent ageing potential.
