There is a subtle complexity on the nose with currant, berry, fresh herb and wet earth aromas. Cut fresh flowers, too. Full body, dense and powerful. Incredible character here with such purity and polish. It goes on for minutes. Formed, sculptured yet soulful. A monumental wine for Chile. Unbelievable. More powerful than the 2014 which was 100 points. A blend of 46% carmenere, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Better in 2022.
Owned by the Marnier Lapostolle family, famously known for their production of Grand Marnier, Casa Lapostolle proudly stands by their proclamation of: “French in Essence, Chilean nun Birth”. After their success in France, the family wished to continue in their successful alcoholic beverage productions by procuring a vineyard in Apalta, located in the Colchagua winegrowing region in Chile. The climate, as well as terroir, having never been infected with phylloxera, draws more and more prominent French winemakers to take up land. The vines are traced back to original cuttings from France, pre-phylloxera, allowing them to grow to significant age. The wines are expertly made and prove to be undeniably delicious!
