WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Château Musar Jeune 2021 involves fermenting the Cinsault, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon blend in cement-lined vats at temperatures between 27-29°C, employing indigenous yeasts. The philosophy centers on minimal intervention to showcase the inherent qualities of the grapes and the Bekaa Valley terroir. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of maturation before being bottled approximately one year after harvest. It is then aged further before release. The wine is intentionally not filtered or fined.
