Iconic Lebanese winery known for complex, low-intervention wines
"Chateau Musar is a well-known winery in Lebanon. Despite initial visitor restrictions during the pandemic, José Andrés was able to visit and taste wine from barrels reserved for him by the late owner."
"Led to international prominence by the legendary Serge Hochar in the 1970s, this estate became synonymous with perseverance and international advocacy for Lebanese wine as Hochar boldly promoted funky, Bordeaux-style blends to British drinkers while his vines endured decades of conflict. The estate’s story—vines surviving through war and its charismatic championing abroad—helped shape an enduring narrative about the country’s wines, for better and for worse." - Farrah Berrou
"The famous winery, founded in 1930, was the first producer on the modern world stage to export Lebanese wine. It has since gained a following for low-intervention, complex, and funky expressions of the country’s climate and terrain." - Frank Faverzani
