Chateau Musar Red 2015, Bekaa Valley, Libanon

Chateau Musar Red 2015 is een van de meest uitdagende jaargangen die het huis in decennia heeft meegemaakt, gevormd door extreme weersomstandigheden maar uiteindelijk verrassend karaktervol. Wat maakt de Bekaa Valley zo geschikt voor krachtige rode wijnen? De combinatie van warme zomers, koele nachten en hooggelegen wijngaarden zorgt voor rijpe druiven met behoud van frisse zuren. Deze 2015 toont hoe veerkracht in de wijngaard kan leiden tot een wijn met spanning, diepte en klassieke Musar-signatuur.

In 2015 kende het jaar een natte winter met sneeuw, gevolgd door vorst tussen 10 en 18 april waarbij temperaturen daalden tot tussen -8 °C en -12 °C. Veel knoppen werden vernietigd en sommige percelen leken verloren. Later volgden een vochtige juni, een milde juli en vervolgens een hittegolf richting september, waardoor de uiteindelijke opbrengst drastisch lager uitviel.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Chateau Musar Red komen uit de Bekaa Valley, een hooggelegen plateau in Libanon dat al eeuwenlang bekendstaat om wijnbouw.

  • Extreme voorjaarsvorst: temperaturen tot -12 °C veroorzaakten tot 65% verlies bij Cabernet Sauvignon.

  • Hittegolf in september: versnelde rijping en extra druk op de wijngaarden.

  • Aana en Kefraya: belangrijke herkomstzones voor Cinsault met respectievelijk 70% en 40% opbrengstverlies.

  • Selectieve oogst begin september: Cabernet Sauvignon op 3 september, Cinsault op 8 september en Carignan op 11 september.

De combinatie van hoogte en grote temperatuurverschillen tussen dag en nacht draagt bij aan frisheid ondanks het warme klimaat.

Vinificatie en rijping

Elke druivensoort werd afzonderlijk verwerkt om maximale expressie te behouden.

  • Natuurlijke gisten: vergisting per druif in betonnen vaten, wat temperatuurstabiliteit en zachte extractie bevordert.

  • 12 maanden rijping in Franse eikenhouten vaten: voor structuur en verfijnde kruidigheid.

  • Assemblage januari 2018: na afzonderlijke rijping werden de wijnen samengevoegd.

  • Botteling juli/augustus 2018: gevolgd door verdere flesrijping op het domein.

  • Alcohol 14%: geeft body zonder de balans te verstoren.

Deze werkwijze onderstreept de klassieke aanpak van Chateau Musar, waarbij tijd een essentieel onderdeel is van de stijl.

Druivensamenstelling

Cabernet Sauvignon – Bekaa Valley
Brengt structuur, cassis en rijpe tannines in de blend.

Cinsault – Aana en Kefraya
Geeft aromatische finesse, rood fruit en zachtheid in de textuur.

Carignan – Bekaa Valley
Voegt kruidigheid en diepte toe met extra grip in de afdronk.

De blend bestaat uit gelijke delen van deze drie druivenrassen.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas toont Chateau Musar Red 2015 een diepe robijnrode kleur. De neus opent met bramen, zwarte bessen en kersen, gevolgd door leer, subtiele peperige kruidigheid en later complexere tonen. In de mond keren het donkere fruit en de kruidige nuances terug, aangevuld met zachte vanille, verwarmende specerijen en een lichte cacaotoets. De structuur is fris met soepele tannines die kracht combineren met elegantie. De afdronk is gelaagd en blijft kruidig en fruitgedreven nazinderen.

  • Serveertemperatuur: Serveer rond 16–18 °C zodat de kruidige complexiteit en tannines in balans blijven met de frisse zuren.

  • Gerechten: Combineert uitstekend met eend, ribeye of andere rijkere, vettere vleesgerechten die de structuur van de wijn ondersteunen.

Bekroningen

Jonathan Ray, The Spectator, juli 2021: omschreef de 2015 als een “fiendishly tricky vintage” waarbij ondanks tot 65% verlies bij Cabernet Sauvignon uiteindelijk een glorieus resultaat werd bereikt.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol
