The 2022 Château Musar Jeune Rosé is a vibrant and expressive Lebanese rosé from the Bekaa Valley, crafted from a blend of predominantly Cinsault with a touch of Mourvèdre. Made in an unoaked style using the saignée method, it highlights freshness, purity and a more approachable side of Château Musar’s iconic winemaking philosophy.
The nose is bright and aromatic, offering notes of wild strawberry, peach and citrus blossom, layered with hints of rose petal and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a juicy, silky texture and refreshing acidity. Flavours of red berries, citrus zest and gentle spice are supported by a mineral edge, leading to a clean, dry and food-friendly finish.
The style is fresh, lively and slightly more structured than typical rosé, offering both easy drinkability and a more gastronomic profile.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great introduction to Lebanese rosé for customers looking for something different from Provence styles. Ideal for those who enjoy dry, fruit-forward rosé with a bit more character and texture. This is not a simple poolside rosé - it’s versatile and food-driven. Drink now or over the next 2–3 years. Perfect with seafood, mezze, grilled dishes or Mediterranean cuisine.
