Thanks, David, for these clarifications. Would really love to hear more on this (and would like to taste more Musar!). Btw, welcome to Texas!

Your confusion of the grapes in Musar white may have been compounded by Serge’s verbal assertions of many years that these two Lebanese grapes were in fact Chardonnay and Semillon. Recent ampelographic evidence has suggested otherwise and, while Serge is no longer trumpeting these misnomers, there is a possibility the indigenous grapes are distantly related to the French ones.
