Clos Apalta
In Chile’s Apalta Valley, where the hills curve like an amphitheatre around the vines, Clos Apalta has carried the Marnier Lapostolle vision since the 1990s into a benchmark estate. Alluvial stones, granite seams and steep exposures create a patchwork of plots, hand‑harvested and rigorously sorted.
In the vineyard, biodynamic cues, cover crops and low‑impact work guide the season; cool nights refine phenolic ripeness and keep the fruit taut. In the cellar, gravity flow, gentle extraction and measured élevage prioritise structure and tension over showy oak.
The result is Apalta told through texture rather than tasting notes: concentrated yet poised, mineral‑lined and long. For anyone searching for Chile with a sense of place, Clos Apalta reads like a signature—quiet, exacting, and built on terroir.Clos Apalta
