The Winery
Château Musar

The legendary winery of Château Musar is a story that has its roots in the cradle of viticulture, that is, in the Lebanese Bekaa Valley, where the most ancient testimonies of wine production meet, bringing us back to the wines of almost six thousand years ago. We are precisely in Lebanon, a few tens of kilometers east of Beirut, the capital. The scenario is that of a place particularly suited to the production of great wines, discovered and somehow "built" thanks to the intuitive genius of Gaston Hochar. The latter, in 1930, after a long journey in the French region of Bordeaux to the discovery of the prestigious Bordeaux labels, returned with the conviction that in Lebanon the climatic conditions and the compositions of the land would allow him to produce equally important wines

The colour was between red and brown. Good coffee aromas. Astringent, rough taste.
It paired well with the food.

Chateau Musar and deer stew, just great.
I gave it as a gift to my brother and he absolutely loved it.
The best of the meal was this wine.
Château Musar is the first wine I drank with my parents.
