Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Lapostolle Grand Sel Cabernet Sauvignon wraps your senses in a tapestry of ripe blackcurrant, graphite, and subtle green pepper, instantly evoking the sun-drenched valleys of Chile. With an alcohol by volume of 14.00%, this wine delivers a bold yet balanced structure, its tannins polished and persistent, carrying notes of dark cherry and cedar through a lingering finish. Crafted from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Chile’s unique terroir, it finds its perfect match alongside succulent lamb or the nutty complexity of aged cheddar. Each glass is an invitation to savor depth and elegance in every moment shared at the table.

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.
