Detailed Description
The Apalta Valley had an outstanding harvest in 2007 which is reflected in this magnum bottle of Clos Apalta. A blend of 61% Carmenère, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. The nose is intense and multi-layered, including aromas of spices, black and red fruits, herbs and a touch of led pencil. The palate is rich and fruit-forward, filled with juicy tannins and followed by a long aftertaste.
Producer Information
Everything starts in 1994 when Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet first arrived in Chile’s Colchagua Valley. They quickly realized its potential for producing world-class wines. This ideal setting, which was revitalized in 1995, was home to vines originating from pre-phylloxera rootstock brought from Bordeaux in the middle of XIX century. Member of a renowned family that has been dedicated for several generations to the production of high-quality spirits and wines, Alexandra with legendary wine expertise, brought exceptional French winemaking practices to Chile and pioneered the development of fine quality wines from the region. Today it is Charles de Bournet Marnier Lapostolle, seventh generation of the family, who holds the reins of the Winery. Together with him is Jacques Begarie, Technical Director & Winemaker, under the advice of the famous winemaker Michel Rolland, who is personally involved in the whole production of Clos Apalta.
