Notes - Elaborated with the same philosophy as the Château Musar and derived from old vines with low yield, the Hochar Père et Fils is in harmony with the evolution of taste in the 21st century. A mix of cabernet sauvignon, of carignan with a dominance of cinsault and a hint of grenache, the HPF is partially aged in oak vats from 6 to 9 months. It is bottled in its 2nd year before being released on the market. As for the Château, we advise to decant it.
