Unlike the flagship Château Musar Red, Musar Jeune Red is unoaked, earlier-drinking and more immediately fruit-expressive. Its cement-vat fermentation preserves freshness, while the Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon blend gives it colour, spice and structure.
As a The Wine Box Exclusive, it introduces age-verified customers in Kenya to a more accessible expression of Château Musar’s Bekaa Valley identity.
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry jam, layered with violet, cracked black pepper and faint leather spice. A subtle savoury thread gives the wine more depth than a simple fruit-led red.
On the palate, Cinsault contributes red-fruited brightness and aromatic lift, while Syrah adds peppery spice and darker berry weight. Cabernet Sauvignon brings blackcurrant structure and firmer mid-palate shape, giving the wine a more complete frame despite its unoaked style.
The finish is warm, spicy and gently savoury, marked by raspberry preserve, blackcurrant skin, pepper and soft herbal notes, leaving a vivid and food-friendly impression.
Food Pairing
Château Musar Jeune Red works well with grills, roasts, casseroles, delicatessen meats and mature cheeses, where its fruit intensity and warm spice complement savoury flavours. Château Musar recommends serving it at 16–18°C without decanting.
It can also sit comfortably beside grilled lamb, roast chicken and richly seasoned vegetable dishes, especially where a vivid, unoaked red is preferred over a heavier oak-aged style.

Description
Château Musar Jeune Red is an unoaked Lebanese red from the Bekaa Valley, showing blackcurrant, raspberry, cherry jam and warm spice.
Château Musar Jeune Red comes from Bekaa Valley vines planted since 2000 at around 1,000 metres above sea level, where altitude helps preserve freshness while supporting ripe fruit expression. The wine is made from Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it a vivid, youthful profile with structure and aromatic lift. Unlike Château Musar’s flagship red, which is released after extended ageing, Musar Jeune Red is designed as an earlier-drinking expression of the estate. It was first produced in 2007, fermented in cement-lined vats, bottled around one year after harvest and released the following year.
As a The Wine Box Exclusive, Château Musar Jeune Red gives you access to a distinctive Lebanese red from one of the Middle East’s most recognised wine estates.

About The Winery
Château Musar was founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley and remains one of the country’s most internationally recognised wineries. The Hochar family helped bring Lebanese wine to global attention, with the estate known for wines shaped by altitude, patience and vintage individuality.
The Musar Jeune range shows the fresher, earlier-drinking side of the estate. While Château Musar’s flagship wines are known for extended maturation, Musar Jeune focuses on youthful fruit, cement-vat fermentation and direct Bekaa Valley expression.
