Producer Information: Lapostolle
Lapostolle, established in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, is rooted in the Apalta Valley of Chile’s Colchagua region, an area celebrated for its exceptional terroir and old-vine vineyards. Drawing on a legacy from the creators of Grand Marnier, Lapostolle blends French winemaking expertise with Chilean viticultural heritage, focusing on organic and biodynamic practices to express the unique character of their land. Their meticulous approach includes hand-harvesting grapes and employing gravity-flow wineries to preserve fruit purity. Beyond their acclaimed Clos Apalta blend, Lapostolle crafts a diverse portfolio including Cuvée Alexandre varietals such as Carmenère and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Pisco Kappa—a premium spirit distilled from Muscat grapes grown in Chile’s Elqui Valley—demonstrating their commitment to quality across both wine and spirits categories.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a prominent red wine grape variety known for producing full-bodied wines with a rich flavor profile. Characterized by notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, it often features hints of green bell pepper, tobacco, and cedar. The wine typically exhibits dark fruit aromas complemented by herbal notes such as mint or eucalyptus, along with vanilla and spice from oak aging.
This varietal is primarily grown in renowned regions like Bordeaux in France, Napa Valley in the USA, Coonawarra in Australia, and the Chilean Central Valley. With its robust tannic structure and smooth finish, Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with grilled meats like steak or lamb, hearty stews, aged cheeses, and even dark chocolate desserts. Its aging potential makes it a favorite for collectors and ideal for special occasions or formal dinners.
