“Discover the flagship wine from one of Lebanon’s most renowned estates, where power, spice, and a long finish come together: a magnificent discovery!”

Let’s head to one of the cradles of the wine world to discover a magnificent new addition 1jour1vin the 2018 Château Musar. With its off-cycle vintages—resulting from over two years of aging in barrels followed by concrete tanks, before resting for five years in bottles in the estate’s cellars—this wine is a true testament to power. Here, the nose offers great complexity, ranging from jammy red fruits to notes of tomato juice and beautifully aged leather that is incredibly seductive. On the palate, it’s an explosion of aromas supported by firm, rounded tannins; its velvety texture lingers into a grand, sweeping finish. A great wine.
