Why You'll Love It
Rounded and gently aromatic, this Lebanese white combines peach and apricot with fresh herbs and a clean, mineral finish. Viognier brings fragrance, Chardonnay adds texture and Vermentino keeps the blend lively. It is an easy introduction to Musar's characterful wines, especially with grilled fish, roast chicken or a table full of mezze.
About The Producer
Founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar, Château Musar helped put Lebanese wine on the world map. The Hochar family built its reputation on distinctive, long-lived wines, with Serge Hochar's determination and independence shaping the estate's character through some of Lebanon's most difficult years.
Organic vineyard management, biodiversity and minimal intervention remain central to Musar's approach. Its wines reflect the country's varied mountain sites, combining international grapes with indigenous varieties such as Obaideh and Merwah. The fruit-led, unoaked Jeune range offers an approachable introduction, while the château wines gain complexity through patient maturation and time in bottle.

Winemaking Information
The 2022 blend is 40% Viognier, 30% Vermentino and 30% Chardonnay from organically certified Bekaa Valley vineyards at around 1,000 metres. Chardonnay and Vermentino grow on limestone soils, with Viognier on silty soils. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 20°C to preserve the grapes' character. The wine is blended, cold-stabilised and bottled without oak ageing; this vintage was bottled in March 2023.
