A pure expression of the great Chilean terroirs, Clos Apalta 2018 charms the eye with its deep garnet red color. With a great aromatic richness, the bouquet opens with notes of small red fruits evoking raspberry, redcurrant and wild strawberry. The attack on the palate highlights the aromatic notes perceived on the nose before revealing the silky and tender tannic structure of the wine. Notes of black olive, blackcurrant and licorice coat the palate. The endless finish stretches out with finesse, tension and elegance.

Lapostolle was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle, great-granddaughter of the founder of Grand Marnier liqueur, and her husband Cyril de Bournet. The Marnier-Lapostolle family has been involved in the wine world for generations.

Family know-how combined with the expertise of renowned oenologists, such as Michel Roland and Michel Friou, former oenologist at Château Margaux and Cape Mentelle, have led to a truly global success.

In addition to Château de Sancerre in the Loire Valley, the Lapostolle family owns over 370 hectares in Chile, vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Syrah.

The family has applied the same recipe as Grand Marnier: the same high standards and the same approach to quality. The objective is very simple but not lacking in ambition: to create world-renowned wines by combining French know-how with sublime Chilean terroirs.
