Château Musar, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
For over 6,000 years, wine has been produced in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Founded in 1930,
Château Musar has become one to the most esteemed wineries in the world. In 1984, when
Britain’s “Decanter Magazine” named their first ever “Wine Man of the Year,” it was given to
Gaston Hochar of Château Musar.

amazingly complex and seem to age forever. There is some style similarity to an older Rioja of
