Chateau Musar Wine Dinner with Kat Camera of Broadbent Selections
Chateau Musar is one of the greatest wine estates on the planet. Gaston Hochar, founded the winery in 1930 when he planted vines in the Bekaa Valley. Since then, Musar has been widely recognized as Lebanon’s preeminent winery.
The winery has been linked to the great Bordeaux estates. In 1941, Gaston befriended Major Ronald Barton, a Franch military officer from the Chateau Leoville-Barton family who was stationed in Lebanon at the time, greatly influencing the methods and style of the wines. In 1959, Gaston’s son, Serge Hochar, took the winemaking reigns following his education at the University of Oenology in Bordeaux.
Until the mid-1970s the wines were sold primarily in Lebanon but that changed with the 15 year civil war. Serge took the wines to the London Wine Fair in 1979 where Michael Broadbent declared the 1967 vintage the “find of the year”. Broadbent started an import company, Broadbent Selections which now imports the wines to the U.K., Europe and U.S.
1984, Decanter Magazine named Serge Hochar “Decanter Man of the Year” for his relentless work producing fine wine through the war. Serge’s sons, brothers and nephews now operate the estate and have furthered it’s reputation globally.
If you have not tried Chateau Musar, they are some of the most individual, complex, long aging and rewarding wines on the planet (for reds, whites and roses).
