The Story

Spanning over two decades of winemaking, this vertical of Chateau Musar Red—ranging from 1997 through 2018—offers a rare window into the soul of Lebanon’s most iconic wine. Crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan, each vintage reflects not only the unique climatic conditions of the Bekaa Valley, but also the distinct style of the year, shaped by low-intervention practices and extended aging before release.

Across formats—from half-bottles to magnums—these wines reveal Musar’s hallmark evolution: youthful bottles shine with vibrant red fruit, spice, and savory earth, while older vintages offer deep complexity, with notes of leather, dried herbs, cigar box, and dried cherry. The signature texture—elegant yet wild, structured yet fluid—remains constant.

Unfined, unfiltered, and fermented with native yeasts, Chateau Musar is a wine of spirit and resilience. This collection invites you to explore the layered beauty of one of the world’s great ageworthy reds, where every vintage tells its own story while echoing the enduring legacy of Gaston and Serge Hochar.
