Discover the wine MUSAR - CHÂTEAU MUSAR

Enjoy legendary wine for its distinctive, sophisticated style. Few are able to get their hands on this beautiful wine!

You will be delighted by this bottle, especially when you realize that this red wine comes from the Bekaa Valley, one of the first vineyards in the history of the world! A beautiful gustatory proof of the wine traditions that have lasted in this region!

A deeply coloured wine, with strong aromas of black and macerated fruits, cedar wood and subtle oak notes. Its tannins are still tight, but has a generous structure and above all plenty of freshness, depth and natural class. It can be stored for another five or six years but is already delivering some of its fuller flavours. A highly recommendable wine, praised by our buyers. This is perhaps the best local wine currently available in small quantities.

Located in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, where the first wines in the history of the world appeared, Château Musar honours the terroir.
