Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta
Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta
Le Petit Clos is a different interpretation of the Clos Apalta Terroir, using the mastery of blending that is the heart of the winemaking philosophy from the Domaines Bournet - Lapostolle.
Wine Production
Our Petit Clos was hand harvested in small cases of 14 kilos. The grapes are then hand de-stemmed in our Clos Apalta Winery so we maintain complete control of the quality. We fill our fermentation French oak vats by gravity. We use native yeast to ferment the grape juice into wine, with temperature control max. 28° C. We estate bottled the wine by gravity without any treatment or filtration.
Tasting Notes
Deep and intense red color with violet edges. Intense fruit expression with black fruit such as blackberry and cassis well mixed with red fruit such as cherry and plums. Slightly spiced with anise and cedar notes. Delicate fresh violets fragrance. Big structure and good volume, balance with a remarkable acidity
Food Pairing
Enjoy with an Angus loin in myrtle berry sauce, beef tenderloin and spinach cooked with cream cheese and almonds; venison with grilled seasonal vegetables.

About the Vineyard
Apalta is located at 170 Kilometers South West from Santiago in the Colchagua Valley. The Vineyard is situated on a North to South exposure, which is quite rare in Chile. This geography is responsible for the conditions that ensure balance for our vines and a slow ripening for the grapes.
