Merchant's description
Established by Gaston Hochar in 1930. Chateau Musar is without doubt Lebanon`s top wine estate and their flagship red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault from vineyards in the Bekaa Valley and aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. The 1988 vintage displays spicy aromas of liquorice and clove together with dark fruit notes balanced by fresh acidity.
