Located in the heart of Chile 's Colchagua Valley , Clos Apalta embodies the elite of South America's great wines. This iconic estate, founded by the Marnier Lapostolle family, has established itself as a major player in Chilean wine thanks to a philosophy of excellence, artisanal winemaking, and a profound respect for the terroir. Le Petit Clos is the estate's second wine, benefiting from the same rigorous care as its flagship wine. From a mountainous, granitic terroir, this 2018 red wine is a superb introduction to the elegance and depth characteristic of Clos Apalta.

Tasting notes
The 2018 Petit Clos boasts a deep ruby color with violet highlights. The nose is expressive, marked by aromas of blackberry, black cherry, sweet pepper, and precious wood. On the palate, the attack is ample, with a well-defined tannic structure. The texture is silky, supported by a lovely freshness, and the long finish reveals notes of cocoa and blond tobacco.
