Château Musar (Blanc) 2000


Rather an amber colour, with orange highlights; in the shop, I squinted and wondered if it was a rosé.

Made from a mix of the Merwah (related to Sémillon) and Obaideh (related to Chardonnay) grapes, but the style is pure Bordeaux Sémillon style: waxy, preserved lemons with a mix of old and new oak. Austere and beautifully integrated, I imagine it could live for next to forever in the cellar.
