"“The 2019 vintage is dark, broody and spicy and blood red in colour. The aromas are blueberry, cranberry and blackcurrant with black olives and a touch of cloves, these follow through to the palate with added cherries, plum and spice. There is also a note of black pepper and it finishes with a good level of acidity and fine integrated tannins.

An iconic wine with as many fans as detractors, Chateau Musar was established by Gaston Hochar in 1930 after returning from Bordeaux. The current proprietors are sons, Ronald and Serge Hochar, the latter managing the estate since 1959, with Ronald Hochar assuming marketing and finance department responsibilities since 1962. Musar was discovered internationally at the Bristol Wine Fair of 1979 when Michael Broadbent MW selected Musar 1967 as the "discovery of the Fair". Despite war in Lebanon and frequent tension, with the exception of the 1976 vintage, wine has been produced at the Château every year.
