Chateau Musar, Think Bordeaux meets Arabian Nights, Chateau Musar's indulgent, sensuous flavours make it an unforgettable experience. It is also a testament to winemaking passion, dedication and bravery in the face of a 15-year civil war (1975-1990) .Founded by Gaston Hochar In 1930, at just 20 years old, inspired by Lebanon's 6,000-year winemaking tradition and his travels in Bordeaux created Chateau Musar . His 'wines with noblesse' greatly impressed senior officers in the army following on from the French mandate of the 1920s. Major Ronald Barton, of Château Langoa-Barton, stationed in Lebanon during World War II became a great friend, strengthening the links between Chateau Musar and Bordeaux that remain to this day.
