This delicious blend of 40% Viognier, 30% Vermentino, and 30% Chard is hand harvested at early dawn from various estate owned, certified organic plots in and around the fertile Bekaa Valley at an average altitude of 4000 feet. Chateau Musar, which predates Lebanon’s independence, was founded in 1930 when Gaston Hochar, inspired by the region's 6,000 year old winemaking history as well as his travels to Bordeaux, planted his first vines. His son Serge was the winemaker from 1959 until his death in 2014 after which his son Gaston took over. Jeune Blanc is fermented naturally in stainless steel for 3 months on the lees which gives it a silky texture and subtle creamy note while maintaining its purity and freshness. Medium-bodied with aromas of peach, apricot, and an herbal note of thyme, the palate delivers tropical and melon flavors followed by a crisp, mineral-laden finish. Pairs perfectly with a mezze plate of olives, tabbouleh, babaganoush, hummus, kofta and fattoush or a tuna tomato melt on sourdough.
