More about the 2021 Clos Apalta Le Petit Clos: When Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle, heiress to the Grand Marnier legacy, rooted her family’s vision in Chile’s Apalta Valley, she sought to craft a wine that could stand among the world’s finest, blending Bordeaux’s artistry with the wild elegance of Apalta. Guided by the renowned Michel Rolland from the inaugural vintage, these wines bear a hallmark of sophistication and depth, each bottle reflecting the family’s French lineage. The vineyard is a marvel of nature, a steep amphitheater etched into the Apalta hills, where granitic soils, sunlit slopes, and cooling river breezes converge to yield fruit of extraordinary balance. Here, Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc ripen gradually under the valley’s distinctive conditions, capturing a purity of flavor and vibrancy unique to this terroir. The result is a wine of poise and intensity: Carmenère’s lush depths meld with Cabernet Sauvignon’s framework, Merlot’s subtle grace, and Cabernet Franc’s aromatic finesse. Together, they form a blend that pulses with strength and harmony, vividly capturing the essence of one of Chile’s most iconic vineyards. Experience this exquisite blend and uncover the artistry of Apalta for yourself.
