With the third generation at the helm, Chateau Musar of Lebanon faces challenges and triumphs alike with aplomb. Nimmi Malhotra reports

Had there been no war in Lebanon, probably the story of Chateau Musar would not be as it is today,” says Ralph Hochar, the third-generation custodian of the winery. For the last 89 years, Chateau Musar has crafted wines with a unique Lebanese signature. That the country has been in a constant state of war and turmoil hasn’t stopped the winery.
