Chateau Musar Red 1997 (Lebanon) 750ml
| "During the war years in Lebanon, Chateau Musar managed to consistently produce high quality wine, leading the "Wine Spectator" magazine to use headlines such as: "Chateau Musar makes great, ageworthy reds amid the chaos of Lebanon's civil war".
Chateau Musar attained international recognition during the wine fair of Bristol in England in 1979, where a specialized press named it the "find of the fair". Following this event, Chateau Musar's reputation reconfirmed itself in most other European countries, as well as in the United States, Canada, and in some Asian Countries.
Decanter Magazine paid tribute to Serge Hochar's achievements by nominating him "Decanter Man of the Year" in 1984.
Today, thanks to the audience Chateau Musar has attracted and its reputation in the international press, Lebanese wine has become known throughout the world as a wine of outstanding quality, thus opening the way for Lebanon to become member of the OIV (Office International de la Vigne et du Vin)." | |
