Château Musar Jeune White 2021

Original price was: $44.70.Current price is: $40.23.

Pale lemon-gold in colour. The 2021 blend of the 3 white varietals results in a wine full of fragrance – pineapple, pear, passionfruit and herbs with an underlying mineral note. Flavours of pineapple, pear and apricots with some floral and herby notes of basil and thyme. There is a rich honeyed mouthfeel but at the same time it is vibrantly fresh with good acidity; deliciously drinkable lightly chilled, within two to three years from the harvest.

Founded by Gaston Hochar in 1930, Chateau Musar lies in a 17th century Mzar castle in Ghazir, just North of Beruit overlooking the Mediterranean sea. One of the great wines of the world Chateau Musar has been run by Gaston's sons, Serge (who studied winemaking under the great Emile Peynaud at the University of Bordeaux) and Ronald since 1959. The grand vin is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvedre with the white wine being a blend of native varieties including Merwah and Obaideh. With glowing reviews from international wine critics, Chateau Musar produces an earthy complex range of wines that age beautifully and Serge Hochar was awarded the first Decanter magazine "Man of the Year in 1984".

Chardonnay is a white wine grape variety that is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world. Chardonnay wines are known for their versatility and a wide range of styles. The grape produces wines that can be very different depending on the growing conditions and winemaking techniques. Chardonnay wines can range from light-bodied and unoaked with flavors of green apple and lemon to full-bodied and rich with flavors of tropical fruit, butter, and oak.

The wine style can vary greatly depending on where it's grown, wines from Burgundy, France tend to be crisp and mineral driven, while in California and Australia, the wine style is often more full-bodied and oaky.

Chardonnay grapes can be harvested at different times depending on the desired style, early-harvested grapes will produce lighter and fruitier wines, while late-harvested grapes will produce wines with more body and complexity. Oak aging can also affect the flavor profile and style of the wine, with flavors of butter, vanilla and toast.

Chardonnay pairs well with a wide range of foods, particularly seafood, chicken, and creamy pasta dishes.
