Le Petit Clos 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Clos Apalta Le Petit Clos 2018 delivers vibrant blackberry and red-berry fruit layered with savory spice and a subtle floral lift, all wrapped in a luxuriously ripe, full-bodied frame. The texture is plush yet structured, with polished, rounded tannins and an earthy, mineral edge that keeps the richness in check and promises further complexity with a bit more time in bottle.

About Le Petit Clos

Le Petit Clos is the Bordeaux‑style “second wine” from Clos Apalta (Viña Casa Lapostolle), made from Apalta’s steep, granitic‑colluvial vineyards and typically built around Carmenère with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and small amounts of other Bordeaux varieties. It offers an elegant, fruit‑driven profile—ripe black and red berry notes, savory herb/spice tones and well‑integrated oak—with silky tannins and a fresh, mineral lift that reflects Clos Apalta’s terroir-driven winemaking.
