TASTING NOTES:
The Chateau Musar White 2007 is a beautifully balanced wine with good fresh lemon acidity, tropical fruit flavours on the palate and an elegant finish. The style is reminiscent of a mature white Graves: rich and intensely aromatic with long lasting fruit and floral flavours and as such, the wine benefits from decanting and is best served around 15°C (room temperature rather than chilled) with fine foods of similar richness.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
Seafood dishes (shellfish, crab, lobster, sushi, sashimi) | chicken, pork, and veal | Asian cuisine.
BRAND NAME:
Château Musar
In 1930, at just 20 years old, Gaston Hochar founded Chateau Musar, inspired by Lebanon’s 6,000-year winemaking tradition and his travels in Bordeaux. His ‘wines with noblesse’ greatly impressed senior officers in the army following on from the French mandate of the 1920s. Major Ronald Barton, of Château Langoa-Barton, stationed in Lebanon during World War II became a great friend, strengthening the links between Chateau Musar and Bordeaux that remain to this day.
