Hochar Père et Fils is often referred to as the 'second wine' of Chateau Musar but this is not an accurate description of this wine at all. These are not the discarded grapes which don't make it into the Grand Vin, but are specially sourced from a single vineyard planted over 50 years ago at 1000m above sea level near the village of Aana in the Bekaa Valley. The terroir here is characterised by deep gravelly soil over a limestone base. Low yields from the vines result in concentrated, complex wines and the altitude keeps the average yearly temperature a pleasant 25°C - with snowy winters and hot summers.
