Château Musar Red Bekaa Valley Lebanon

Bekaa Valley Wine Region, Lebanon

The definitive Château Musar red; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan from old Bekaa Valley vines, separately fermented and aged three years in Nevers oak before blending. Extraordinary complexity: dried rose, leather, tobacco, cedar, orange peel, and evolving tertiary notes. Released only when ready (7+ years after harvest). Unfiltered, unmanipulated. Wines that age 40+ years.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Lebanese wine with Lebanese lamb is the natural national pairing; Musar's cedar and dried fruit complement za'atar's herb
• starter: Traditional Lebanese mezze with Lebanon's greatest wine; Musar's complexity and age match the dish's intensity and spice
• main: Musar's tertiary complexity and leather notes bridge the Persian-influenced spiced braise; saffron lifts wine's orange peel note
