Merchant's description

Château Musar 1997 is a red blend from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, crafted from Cinsault, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cinsault, sourced from the garrigues of Kefraya, exhibits crispness and fragrant notes, while the Carignan offers fleshiness with pronounced tannins from the Ana area. The Cabernet Sauvignon contributes depth, characterised by a green, stalky nose and an austere profile. Winemaker Serge Hochar is renowned for his focus on traditional winemaking methods, a legacy that has preserved Château Musar’s unique heritage.
