Chateau Musar Jeune Red 2022 – Lebanese Red Wine
A Vibrant Bekaa Valley Red from Chateau Musar
Chateau Musar Jeune Red 2022 is a beautifully expressive Lebanese red wine crafted in the renowned Bekaa Valley. Designed for early drinking, this unoaked blend captures the signature Musar style in a fresher, fruit-forward form, making it one of the most accessible and versatile wines in the range.
Produced from a blend of Cinsault, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this 2022 vintage showcases the estate’s commitment to organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. The result is a lively, characterful red wine with depth, balance, and unmistakable regional identity.
Available now with fast UK-wide delivery, this is a must-have for lovers of modern Mediterranean wines.
Vintage Overview – Why 2022 Stands Out
The 2022 vintage in Lebanon benefited from a stable and consistent growing season, producing wines with excellent balance and aromatic clarity.
Grapes were harvested from high-altitude vineyards (around 1,000m), where warm days and cool nights help preserve freshness and structure. The result is a wine that combines ripe fruit intensity with lifted acidity and finesse.
Fermented in concrete vats and bottled without oak influence, the 2022 Musar Jeune Red highlights purity of fruit and a clean, modern expression of the Bekaa Valley terroir.
