CABERNET SAUVIGNON FROM CHILE
When Cabernet Sauvignon gets lots of sun, it gets juicy in a voluminous and intense way. A gift to all those who enjoy intense and powerful wines. Lapostolle is part French, so even if it all becomes heavy and intense, you can still sense a French elegance in the background. It keeps everything in place and ensures that it never gets out of control. Good craftsmanship and great taste.

ABOUT THE WINERY
DOMAINES BOURNET-LAPOSTOLLE
Lapostolle Wines was founded by the Marnier-Lapostolle family. The family is also the creator of the world famous liqueur Grand Marnier. For generations they have made wine in the Loire Valley in France and today run the renowned Château Sancerre. In 1994, Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet became so fascinated by the famous Apalta field in the Colchagua Valley that they decided that they would make wine here. Apalta is located on steep slopes 170 km south of Santiago in a horseshoe-shaped valley surrounded by mountains. The climate is ideal with hot days and cool nights thanks to the location between the sea and the mountains. In 2006, Lapostolle built a new, state-of-the-art, high-tech six-level winery with associated cellars carved into the granite walls of Apalta Mountain.
Lapostolle Wines blev grundlagt af familien Marnier-Lapostolle, som bl.a. står bag den verdensberømte likør Grand Marnier. I generationer har de lavet vin i Loiredalen i Frankrig og driver i dag det anerkendte Château Sancerre.
Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle og hendes mand Cyril de Bournet blev i 1994 så fascinerede af den berømte Apalta mark i Colchagua Valley, at de besluttede, at her ville de lave vin. Apalta ligger på stejle skråninger 170 km syd for Santiago i en hesteskoformet dal omgivet af bjerge. Klimaet er ideelt med varme dage og kølige nætter takket være beliggenheden mellem havet og bjergene
I 2006 opførte Lapostolle et nyt supermoderne, højteknologisk vineri i seks niveauer med tilhørende kældre hugget ind i Apalta bjergets granitvægge.
