Description

A rare bottle of 1970 Chateau Musar.
Notes from Chateau Musar: Mistakenly, the most Bordeaux wine I ever made. This was unintentional. I was trying to reflect Lebanon in all its guises, all its
aspects. It had more Cabernet Sauvignon than any wine I’ve ever made, but this was when I could play as I wanted - there were no
rules to command me, so I just blended according to my palate – Serge Hochar

Winemaking
After around two weeks of maceration, the fermented wines are racked into 225 litre Bordeaux-style barrels made of
Nevers oak and matured for up to twelve months. Each component was then blended together. At this stage, the
assemblage had greater proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan; the Cinsault element was to increase in later
years.
