About LapostolleLapostolle was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, of the family behind Grand Marnier, who also own Château de Sancerre in the Loire. Their aim: world-class wines from French expertise and Chilean terroir, beginning with a “coup de coeur” for the Apalta vineyard. The Apalta vineyardApalta sits in the Colchagua Valley, about 200 km south of Santiago, in a horseshoe-shaped valley bordered by mountains on three sides. The Tinguiririca River moderates temperatures for slow ripening. The vines are ungrafted, many descended from pre-phylloxera French cuttings, earning Apalta the nickname “Pomerol of Chile.” Clos ApaltaFirst made in 1997, Clos Apalta blends Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Its gravity-flow winery was completed for the 2005 harvest; fruit is hand-harvested, hand de-stemmed and fermented in 21 small French oak vats, one per parcel, then aged underground. Wine Spectator named it Wine of the Year for 2008. |
