Musar Jeune White is an unoaked blend of Viognier, Vermentino, Chardonnay from youthful Bekaa Valley vines. Originally, the winery launched this range to provide a fresh counterpoint to their traditional, long-aged cellar selections. Consequently, this crisp and aromatic wine displays its own distinct personality. The glass bursts with fragrant notes of tropical passion fruit, green apples, and elder flowers before concluding with a remarkably dry, refreshing finish.
Made from the fruit of Viognier, Vermentino and Chardonnay vines planted since 2000 at around 1,000m above sea level across the sun-drenched in the Bekaa Valley. Therefore, this extreme geographic positioning introduces dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, meaning intense daytime sun precedes cool mountain nights. Because of this climate, the berries retain an essential, crisp acidity while achieving complete, balanced ripeness.
True to the long-standing, natural philosophy of Chateau Musar, the cellar crew ferments the juice inside traditional cement-lined vats. This non-interventionist method perfectly preserves the raw fruit profile because the liquid never touches oak barrels. Following fermentation, the winery finishes the process quickly and bottles the blend within months. As a result, they release the vintage to the market exactly one year after the harvest, which guarantees that the final product retains its maximum aromatic freshness for the consumer.
You do not need to decant this youthful white wine before serving it to your guests. Instead, you can pour it straight from the bottle after chilling it down to an optimal temperature of 12°C. Because the profile offers crisp acidity and a clean texture, it pairs beautifully with fresh seafood salads, light starters, and classic grilled fish.
To keep your collection showing at its absolute best, you must store the bottles in complete darkness. Additionally, you should lay each bottle flat on its side to keep the natural cork moist and expanded. Finally, collectors must shield the wine from continuous floor vibrations, sudden movements, or rapid fluctuations in room temperature.
