HOCHAR PERE ET FILS RED 2007 Hochar Pere et Fils Red is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the second wine of Chateau Musar but this is not an accurate description. Rather than being made from declassified grapes deemed unsuitable for inclusion in the Grand Vin, it is actually sourced from a single vineyard planted over 50 years ago at 1,000 metres above sea level near the village of Aana in the Bekaa Valley, characterised by deep, gravelly soil over a limestone base. Low yields (25-30 hectolitres per hectare) result in concentrated, complex wines and the altitude keeps the average yearly temperature at around 25 C, encompassing snowy winters, mild springs and hot summers. As with all vintages of Hochar Père et Fils, the 2007 vintage is comprised mostly of Cinsault, (50%), Grenache (20%,) with Carignan (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%). The grapes were fermented at 29 C, with 15 to 20 days maceration in cement vats, followed by 9 months in French Nevers oak barrels. It was blended in the spring of 2009 and bottled later on that year. The 2007 vintage is a bright ruby red colour with a nose full of rich dark berries blackcurrants, blueberries, and blackberries. There are also aromas of leather, cigar box, tea leaves and dark chocolate. The palate is enriched with soft fruits, plums, cherries and prunes with layers of the dark berries following through. This wine is well balanced with velvety soft integrated tannins. There are aromas of chocolate and vanilla on the long finish. The Hochar Père et Fils Red 2007 would benefit from being decanted and served at between 16-18 C. Cellared in a steady environment, it will keep for at least a decade.
CHATEAU MUSAR RED 2005 In 2005 we experienced an unusual weather pattern in Lebanon unequalled in 38 years! We had rain and snow throughout January which lasted until mid February followed by rain in March and April. Humid but mild weather then set in from May through to September, with one very unusual day of rain on the 23 rd July. The combination of high levels of humidity and comparatively low temperatures affected maturity and our harvesting was delayed by about 10 days as a result. It was hardly surprising, therefore, that on arrival of the grapes at the winery on the 18 th September, we recorded medium alcohol content and high acidity. Fermentation was similar to our summer weather never reaching high temperatures. In fact, this year, we had no need to cool the wines as temperatures never reached more than 30 C. All our red varieties were very fruity this year, and the resulting wine is well balanced and characterised by rich, ripe fruits, good acidity and smooth integrated tannins. The wines spent 9 months in cement vats and then a year in French Nevers oak barrels and the final blend of approximately a third each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan rested for another 9 months in vats before being bottled and stored in the Chateau Musar cellars high in the mountains at Ghazir to begin their journey of maturation and development, before being released in the spring of 2012. The 2005 vintage is a deep blood red colour with a smoky, spicy, nose of black fruits, toasted bread, dark chocolate and cigar box an impressive fragrance of fruits and spices. The palate is well structured; full of black and red fruits such as cherries, blackcurrants and prunes with a hint of dark chocolate and fresh tea leaves. The finish is long and fine with velvety tannins. People used to be snooty about wine from Lebanon, even though there have been vineyards there for 6,000 years. But its reputation spread and people came to love that rich, dark, spicy, leathery, peppery, perfumed wine with aptly, a hint of cedar. The Musar 2005 is already delicious with all the qualities listed above. Simon Hoggart The Spectator February 2012 14% Alc./Vol.
