Description
Chateau Musar is considered one of the most unique wine estates in the world. This is partly due to its location, Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, and partly due to the strictly traditional methods used there. The vineyards are situated on siliceous limestone-clay soils at an altitude of around 1,000 meters. The long, warm summers guarantee excellent grape ripeness.
The Musar Jeune red wine uses the same grapes as the regular Château Musar. However, this wine uses more Cinsault. In the Rhône region, Cinsault is the grape that produces soft and supple grapes. This immediately explains the smoother character of this wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon adds some body and freshness, keeping the wine well-balanced. Furthermore, the winemaking process is, of course, different. The wine is aged without the use of wood, exclusively in stainless steel tanks, which ensure optimal preservation of the fruit. This means that this wonderfully smooth red wine is immediately ready to be enjoyed. In the glass, the wine has a medium cherry-red color. On the nose, we smell beautiful red fruit with lovely notes of blueberry, cherry, a hint of mint, violets, and some smoky hints in the background. On the palate, the Musar Jeune has a smooth, pleasant taste with good acidity. Here too, the red fruit, such as cherries, comes forward without harsh tannins. A very pleasant, beautiful wine from a unique part of the wine world.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2022 Chateau Musar Jeune Rouge is een soepele en fruitige wijn met prachtige aroma’s van bosbessen, kersen en een hintje mint, aangevuld met subtiele viooltjes en een lichte rokerigheid. Dankzij de frisse zuurgraad en de zachte tannines past deze wijn uitstekend bij gerechten met lam, wild of gehakt, vooral wanneer ze bereid zijn met kruidige en smaakvolle ingrediënten. Hij combineert bijvoorbeeld mooi met een langzaam gegaard lamstoofpotje of een gegrilde wildpaté, waarbij de fruitige en lichte aard van de wijn de rijke smaken in de gerechten mooi aanvult. |
Wijnhuis
Winemaking in Lebanon is far from a modern phenomenon. In the Beqaa Valley, evidence of wine production dates back to the Bronze Age, with the Phoenicians being among the earliest to cultivate vineyards. The famous Bacchus Temple in Baalbek also stands as a testament to the Roman's involvement in winemaking in the region.
Château Musar: a legacy of winemaking in Lebanon
The Beqaa Valley is an ideal location for grape cultivation. The valley is about eight kilometers wide and situated between two mountain ranges at an elevation of approximately 1,000 meters. This high altitude creates a unique microclimate where the intense heat of the day is offset by cool nights, allowing the grapes to retain their fruity aromas. Additionally, meltwater from the mountains ensures a reliable water supply, while the soil—comprising loam, pebbles, and gray limestone—provides a healthy environment for the vines.
Despite the ongoing conflict in the region, winemaking has persisted. The only exceptions were during the years 1976 and 1984, when war prevented wine production. Grapes had to be transported nearly 100 kilometers through conflict zones to reach the winery, located just north of Beirut.
The revival of Lebanese winemaking because of Château Musar
After a long hiatus due to Islamic rule, which imposed a ban on alcohol production for over a thousand years, winemaking in Lebanon was revived by Jesuit priests in 1857. In 1930, Gaston Hochar founded Château Musar during the French mandate period. He sourced grapes from the Beqaa Valley and established a winery and cellar on the western slopes of Mount Lebanon, in Ghazir, just north of Beirut. Hochar received guidance from French professors in setting up his winery.
The Influence of Serge Hochar
Gaston Hochar's son, Serge, played a pivotal role in bringing Château Musar to global recognition. After training at Château Langoa-Barton in Bordeaux, Serge Hochar developed his own philosophy of winemaking. He favored a unique blend, combining the firm and robust structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the fruit-forward character of Rhône varietals such as Carignan and Cinsault—a blend rarely seen elsewhere.
Serge Hochar was committed to natural winemaking techniques, using wild yeasts, avoiding fining and filtering, and famously describing his wines as "wines without makeup." The red wines from Château Musar are aged for an average of 12 months in French oak barrels that are not toasted, followed by several years of cellar aging. The final blend is determined purely by taste, with each vintage offering distinct characteristics.
The unique style of Château Musar wines
The red Château Musar is an exceptional and traditional wine, often considered old-fashioned in style. Its color is never truly dark, usually exhibiting a brownish hue, with notes of spices and a subtle herbal quality in both aroma and flavor. These wines have remarkable aging potential, with Serge Hochar recommending they be enjoyed at their peak after 15 years. Each vintage reflects its own personality, and the wines are renowned for their distinctive character and ability to age gracefully.
Château Musar continues to be celebrated worldwide for its commitment to tradition and unique winemaking approach.
