Producer Information
Casa Lapostolle is a wine producer in Chile. It was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, whose family controlled the Grand Marnier spirits brand until its takeover by Campari in 2016. The estate consists of three vineyards in three different regions totalling 370 hectares (914 acres). The Apalta vineyard, in the Colchagua Valley, is planted to Carmenère with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah. The oldest blocks date back to the 1920s and include vines imported from France. The best plots from here are used for the Clos Apalta wine. The coastal-influenced Casablanca Valley has 57 hectares (140 acres) of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. There are 116 hectares (287 acres) planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah at Casa Lapostolle’s property in the Cachapoal Valley. Borobo, which has a small component of Pinot Noir, is a deluxe cuvée sourced from all three sites. At the more everyday end of the spectrum, Lapostolle makes the Casa and Cuvée Alexandre wines. Lapostolle’s main winery at Cunaco, where the majority of the wine is made, has a capacity of 3.3 million liters in stainless steel tanks and French oak. Its cellar holds over 3,500 oak barrels. Clos Apalta has its own, gravity-fed winery in Colchagua.
