Chateau Musar Red is the wine which did most to bring Musar's wines to world renown. Produced from vines 50 or more years old, the vines grow on the slopes of the Bekaa Valley, northeast of Beruit, on their natural roots, ungrafted, in a soil of calcareous gravels. Unlike the other 'Chateau' wines, the red is not oak fermented. The varieties are vinified seperately, then spend their first full year in French oak, 1/3 new each year. The individual components are then blended, and bottled without fining or filtration. The wine has a smoky perfume, and a complex, rich plummy and spicy palate. The wine should be decanted 2 hours or more before serving, and is well paired with classic roasts, game and powerful cheeses. The wine, well cellared, will continue to evolve in bottle for many years to come.
