Description
Chateau Musar Rosé is a still and softly-oaked tribute to the ‘blended’ rosés of Champagne, a style much enjoyed by Serge Hochar. It is not made every year as specific grape qualities are required to ensure the varieties combine in elegant form. In their youth the wines are salmon pink in colour, smooth, well-balanced and velvety-textured, with aromas and flavours of peaches, pears, oranges, grapefruit, almonds, wild herbs and citrus leaves. They develop mellow, spicy notes and tawny hues as they age.
Chateau Musar
White grapes Obaideh, two thirds of the blend, and Merwah almost a third, are both indigenous to Lebanon and date back
thousands of years. They were harvested in October 2020. Ungrafted, low yielding, 80-90 year old vines are grown at
around 1,300m in vineyards on the west facing Anti Lebanon mountain range and Mount Lebanon. From the Bekaa Valley,
a small percentage of Cinsault is added which gives the wine its subtle salmon pink colour.
