THE STORY OF A WINE ICON

F+R IN CONVERSATION: DYLAN JONES INTERVIEWS MARC HOCHAR FROM CHATEAU MUSAR

"You and I can both make a wine at the same time, from the same grapes, in the same place, using the same recipe and techniques and the same equipment. Yet they will be different. They will have different souls, and will lead different lives. This is because wine has the ability and the capacity to understand the person that is taking care of it."

SERGE HOCHAR

"In vino veritas: there is truth in wine, and wine is a companion that has never betrayed me. Respect it and it will repay you. Wine is my friend, companion, medicine, advisor and doctor."

campaignMusarTestimonial2

"My wines must have three things... Truth: nothing fake. Length: they should linger in the mouth. And Life: they must taste vital, like the land they came from."

campaignMusarTestimonial3

"I hate a wine that stripteases for you before you ask it. I want to be seduced slowly. I like a wine that you undress with your senses. I like a wine that is hiding, to be slowly unveiled. Have you heard of The Dance of the Seven Veils? I like a wine where the more I dig, the more I find"

campaignMusarTestimonial5

"Someone asked me, what is fine wine? I came up with one word: finesse. Finesse is a state of mind."

campaignMusarTestimonial6

"I know nothing about wine. I know how to make wine, but I know nothing about wine, and each day I discover that I know less. Things change permanently. Nature is constantly evolving..."

In the 30 years following Serge Hochar’s decoration as Decanter magazine’s 'Man of the Year' in 1984, his wine became legendary. Unlike other high-status wines in this style (Right Bank Bordeaux or Côte d’Or burgundy, for example), there was no fabulous inherited property from which Musar could draw fame, no legacy of extraordinary wines with a triumphant set of awards and a centuries-old story to tell.
