Château Musar 2005 Gaston Hochar White (Bekaa Valley)

Country: Lebanon / Gaston Hochar
Variety: White Blend Bekaa Valley
Winery: Château Musar /

There are dark veins of smoke and flint that highlight the rippling minerality in this fascinating Lebanese white. It’s made in a deliberately oxididative style, and it offers a slight baked-apple flavor that slowly opens to reveal fresh citrus and honeysuckle notes. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a fascinating wine to enjoy over a long meal.
