Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta
RedCarmenère · Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot · Petit Verdot

Established by the Marnier-Lapostolle family and crafted under the guidance of renowned consultant Michel Rolland, this Bordeaux-style blend is dominated by Carmenère sourced from old vines. The wine is celebrated for its deep color, intense dark fruit aromas, silky tannins, and remarkable aging potential. It was ranked #1 by Wine Spectator for the 2008 vintage, confirming its place among the world's finest wines.
キュヴェ・アレクサンドル カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン
Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon
RedCabernet Sauvignon · Cabernet Franc · Merlot · Petit Verdot
Sourced from century-old vines planted in 1920 on the biodynamic-certified Apalta Vineyard in Colchagua Valley, Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon is Casa Lapostolle's mid-tier flagship red, blending Cabernet Sauvignon with small portions of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Named in honor of the Marnier-Lapostolle family's winemaking heritage dating to 1827, it channels the granite-soil intensity of Apalta into a structured, age-worthy wine crafted under the estate's long consulting relationship with Michel Rolland.
キュヴェ・アレクサンドル カルメネール
Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère
RedCarmenère · Syrah · Cabernet Sauvignon · Petit Verdot
Carménère is Chile's signature grape, and Cuvée Alexandre channels it through Apalta's granitic soils, planted around 1940. The blend leans heavily on Carménère (typically 85-90%), with small additions of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon or Petit Verdot depending on vintage, expressing the variety's ripe dark fruit and green-pepper spice in a polished, medium-bodied style.
キュヴェ・アレクサンドル メルロー
Cuvée Alexandre Merlot
RedMerlot · Cabernet Franc
A silky, elegant expression of Merlot from Casa Lapostolle's Apalta estate, softened by a small dash of Cabernet Franc. Aged mostly in neutral French oak to let the fruit lead, it delivers cherry, plum and gentle spice with fine, approachable tannins.
