About the Producer

In 1930, Gaston Hochar founded Chateau Musar, inspired by Lebanon’s 6,000-year winemaking tradition and his travels in Bordeaux. Gaston’s eldest son, Serge Hochar, became Chateau Musar’s winemaker in 1959, and spent 18 years perfecting the formula for Chateau Musar’s Rouge bottling. Today, Serge’s sons, Gaston and Marc, along with their cousins Ronald and Ralph, continue his legacy and run the day-to-day operations alongside long-time winemaker and viticulturist Tarek Sakr. Chateau Musar’s vineyards are located in Kefraya and Aana, both in the Bekka Valley, as well as a new site in Mehrine.
