Chateau Musar’s youthful “Jeune” wines are made from the fruit of low-yielding, organically certified, Bekaa Valley vines at around 1000 metres above sea level. Produced naturally with a non-interventionist wine making philosophy. The first winery in Lebanon to implement organically certified viticulture.
The 2020 vintage is a blend of Cinsault (50%), Syrah (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%), selected from vineyards with varying age of vines and soils.
The grapes were fermented in concrete vats with temperatures between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius. It was a race against the clock to have the wine fermented and racked, and to release fermentation vats for the grapes that needed saving from the heatwave. The Musar Jeune Red was blended in March 2021 and then rested in the vats until being bottled during the summer of 2021 and released in the spring of 2022. Musar Jeune Red is unfiltered and made according to our non-interventionist wine-making philosophy.
The Musar Jeune Rouge is packed with blackcurrants, blueberries prunes and strawberries on the nose with a hint of violets. On the palate it is a richly fruited wine – bursting with an explosion of red cherries, strawberries, blackberries with a little black pepper and spice with a beautiful soft texture
