Chateau Musar 2016

Château Musar 2016 is a captivating red blend from Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan. The 2016 vintage was marked by a long, steady growing season with no major heat spikes, allowing for balanced ripening and excellent aromatic development. As always, Musar's winemaking follows a traditional, low-intervention approach, with minimal filtration and extensive ageing before release.

Complex aromas of dried cherry, tobacco, cedar, and baking spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with soft tannins and flavours of redcurrant, fig, leather, and earth. Mature yet still vibrant, with a long, savoury finish.

Contains sulphites.

• Lamb tagine with apricots
• Mature hard cheeses
• Roast duck with spiced glaze
• Mushroom and lentil stew
• Chargrilled aubergines

The 2016 vintage of Château Musar reflects the estate’s classic style with a touch more refinement and balance, thanks to the even conditions of the year. Released after seven years in cellar, it’s drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve. Each vintage of Musar is distinct, and 2016 stands out for its lifted aromatics and seamless integration of fruit, earth, and spice.
