This has become such an iconic wine for a number of reasons – not least the vision and persistence of Gaston Hochar to grow grapes and make wine in a war zone, whilst at times literally dodging bullets, yet continually striving for quality. To-day the conditions are much improved, and Chateau Musar delivers a rich cornucopia of flavour from three grape varieties ( Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan) which once matured in bottle, are a pleasure, an experience and a salute to a dedicated team.
