In the presence of a great wine.
“ My mother, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, always dreamt of crafting the perfect wine. She spent years in search of an exceptional terroir to create a unique wine which would come to take its place as one of the best in the world. This was 25 years ago. Having crossed several continents, she found the picture-perfect location of the Apalta Valley. For her dream to become reality, she let the rolling mountains and sunlit air speak to her, guessed their extraordinary potential, and tamed them. French expertise would refine the breathtaking landscape with hundreds of careful changes and masterful adjustments. Clos Apalta was thus born, an enchanting wine with a shimmering texture and complexity that stimulates the senses and excites the imagination. “

Sustainability, a virtuous circle philosophy
“ Our organic vision is to protect not only the purity of the fruit in our wines, but also the purity of our environment and the people who work in our vineyards. Inspired by our experience in biodynamic vineyard management, we allow the terroir and wines to truly work in harmony with each other. The area becomes self-sufficient: soil, plants, people and wildlife interact in a closed and autonomous system.”
Charles-Henri de Bournet, President and CEO
2018 Clos Apalta
James Suckling | 98 Pts
So aromatic and fresh with dried flowers, sweet tobacco and hints of straw. Red fruit, cloves and green peppercorns. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins that are very fresh and refined. Fine, silky and beautiful. Hints of minerals and granite to the dark fruit. Such gorgeous length and beauty. Extremely long and poised. Cooler wine. From biodynamically grown grapes.
