Vintage Chateau Musar Blanc 2017
£35.95
Chateau Musar whites are truly unique, produced from some of the oldest vineyard sites in the world dating back to 5,000 BC. Indigenous ancient grape varieties Obaideh and Merwah, reputedly the ancestors of Chardonnay and Semillon are still cultivated from un-grafted vines on original rootstock. The vineyards on the seaward facing slopes were planted between 50 and 90 years ago and are at 1,200 metres above sea level – few vineyards of this calibre and history remain in the world today.
The 2017 vintage shows a pale lemon colour from the glass, followed by aromas of apples, and fresh hay with a hint of vanilla and grapefruit citrus notes. The palate is layered with sweet basil, peach and tarte tatin flavours which will develop as the wine ages.
A very promising vintage that would benefit from decanting and ageing for decades. The quality of the Obaideh and Merwah was outstanding in this particular year.
