Chateau Musar Red Gaston Hochar 2018

The 2018 Château Musar Red Gaston Hochar is an iconic Lebanese wine, an expression of the historic winery founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar in the Bekaa Valley. It is the maison's most representative cuvée, a red wine of great personality that combines Lebanese tradition with a style that is now legendary on the global scene.

Produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan (Carignano), sourced from organically grown vineyards at over 1,000 metres above sea level, this wine is vinified with spontaneous fermentations and aged for a long time in oak barrels and in the bottle, following a natural and artisanal approach.

It displays an intense ruby ​​red color with garnet highlights. The bouquet is deep and complex, with notes of ripe red fruits, plum, black cherry, tobacco, oriental spices, leather, and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is enveloping, structured, and velvety, with soft, well-integrated tannins, balanced freshness, and a long, persistent finish. The 2015 vintage offers a harmonious and powerful wine, capable of evolving magnificently over the years.

Perfect paired with lamb, grilled red meats, spicy dishes and mature cheeses, the 2018 Château Musar Red Gaston Hochar is a wine for fine dining and meditation.
