Dark, seductive fruit meets lifted freshness in the 2022 Lapostolle Le Petit Clos, a structured yet vibrant Apalta blend that layers blackberries and ripe plum with hints of dark chocolate, spice and a gentle herbal twist. The palate is broad and juicy with very fine, powdery tannins, giving both immediate pleasure and the promise of further complexity, while a long, savory finish leaves a touch of pepper and cool-year energy. This vintage feels particularly agile and refined, showing impressive depth without heaviness.

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.
