I have a very special place in my heart for Musar and when I saw this lone bottle of Jeune Blanc in the fridge during my first visit to Buvette post-COVID, the choice was obvious...particularly given this gorgeous, warm summer day. In the glass, this is a very light straw color. On the nose it’s citrus, pear and white flowers. On the palate, it’s a mix of lemon, minerals, melon and pineapple. The salinity on the finish was super attractive. This was an awesome pairing with cheese, prosciutto di parma and linguini with clams. This is a much different wine than Musar Blanc but serves its purpose with aplomb.

New wine for me...fresh apricots, almond skin, orange blossom. Generous but integrated oak. A red wine dressed for Halloween as a white

a peaceable pairing: buttery, mango-y chateau musar Jeune White (Viognier, Vermentino & #Chardonnay) 2013 fr #Lebanon with lebanese taverna's impossibly silky, creamy hummus
