Why Buy Chateau Musar Red 2010 Magnum?
• Iconic Lebanese fine wine with global acclaim
• Large-format 1.5L magnum – ideal for ageing and celebrations
• Complex, mature vintage with over a decade of bottle development
• Limited availability – increasingly rare in magnum
Magnums age more slowly than standard bottles, preserving freshness while enhancing complexity. For collectors, the Chateau Musar Red 2010 Magnum offers both drinking pleasure and investment appeal.
Chateau Musar Red 2010 Vintage Overview
The 2010 growing season in the Bekaa Valley delivered healthy fruit with balanced ripeness and structure. The result is a wine that combines power with elegance, now entering a superb drinking window while retaining impressive ageing potential.
Grape Varieties
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Cinsault
• Carignan
Ageing
Extended barrel ageing followed by many years of bottle maturation prior to release.
Tasting Note: Deep garnet with brick hues at the rim. Aromas of dried cherry, plum, leather, cedar, and sweet spice unfold into notes of tobacco, forest floor, and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is structured yet supple, with resolved tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savoury finish marked by dark fruit and earthy complexity.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Chateau Musar Red 2010 Magnum pairs beautifully with:
• Slow-roasted lamb shoulder
• Beef short ribs or ribeye steak
• Game dishes (venison, duck)
• Aged hard cheeses
Its savoury profile also complements Middle Eastern cuisine featuring spices, grilled meats, and herb-forward dishes.
Cellaring Potential
The 2010 vintage is drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve for years, especially in magnum. Properly stored, this wine can age 20+ years from vintage, developing further complexity and silkier texture.
Serving Tip: Decant for 3 hours to allow full aromatic expression.
