Chile Clos Apalta

Our committee's review

Located in the heart of Chile, in the Colchagua Valley, 170 km south of Santiago, Casa Lapostolle is one of the country's most beautiful estates. Born from a dual Chilean and French culture, this winery created in 1994 is the pinnacle of South American terroirs and winemaking.

With the help of the famous wine consultant Michel Rolland, the estate created Clos Apalta in 1997. An elite wine, the spearhead of its entire range, which meets all the requirements of biodynamics winemaking. Nowadays, this wine is considered as one of the best in the world, meeting the likes of Vega Sicilia, Penfolds or Opus One at the top of the wine hierarchy.

A well-deserved recognition of this country that offers ideal conditions for viticulture: bathed in oceanic air, protected by the mountains, the vines enjoy a temperate climate. All that was missing was the talent to bring them into the spotlight!

Regularly cited among the world's best wines, Clos Apalta is the only South American wine ranked #1 by Wine Spectator. Discover it in the exceptional 2018 vintage, rated 96/100 Parker, with its second wine, Petit Clos, rated 94/100.

A second wine born in 2014, the 2018 Red Valle de Colchagua Petit Clos is never far from its older sibling... Made with the same care and following biodynamic practices, it bears the Apalta signature of strength, richness and intensity, all propelled by nearly two years of aging in French oak barrels. A feat rated 94/100 by Parker.

The 2018 Red Valle de Apalta Clos Apalta is already legendary. Rated 96/100 by Parker, carried by a radiant Carmenere grape variety, it is powerful and seductive, with a demonstrative and charming character that suits him well. Its notes of spices, tobacco, black fruits are combined in a concentrated palate, with very silky and polished tannins, and an incredible and long finish. A wine to enjoy now, and for a long time to come!

Apalta, one of the greatest signatures of Chile on a beautiful vintage!
