Beschreibung

- 100 Punkte, James Suckling: „I’ve never before smelled a wine like this. The captivating aromas are amazing, with lavender, sage, dried potpourri, blackberries, tar, pepper and black licorice. Full-bodied with super tannins that fan out and caress the palate. It’s ethereal and endless. A pure syrah from the owners of Clos Apalta, from unique mountain vineyards. Just over 6,000 bottles made. Try to give this four or five years of bottle age. Best after 2028.“

- 20 Punkte Max Gerstl – bekannter Schweizer Weinliebhaber und Händler: “Das ist ein grosses Vergnügen diesen puren Syrah auf dem Weingut zu degustieren. 2021 war ein kühles Jahr für chilenische Verhältnisse und das bekommt diesem Wein sehr gut. In der Nase kommt ein richtig frischer Wind aus Kräutern, weissen Pfeffer und schwarze Beerenfrucht. Im Mund ist viel Frische da, einfach herrlich diesen Syrah zu verkosten, die Tannine sind noch wild und brauchen noch etwas Zeit um sich zu finden. Man findet sich eher im nördlichen Rhône als in Chile, viel Würze, Pfeffer und wiederum herrliche Kräuternoten. In 5 Jahren werden wir hier einen grandiosen Wein haben.“

- 96 Punkte JANE ANSON, Inside Bordeaux (02/2024): „Impressive, with a slender sculpted feel, savoury blueberry and blackberry fruit, oak already well integrated. Sweet spices, liquorice, cocoa bean, olive and espresso come through in the mid palate. The Syrah for this wine, on steep east-facing granite slopes, was planted 20 years ago, among the first wave for Chile. A cool vintage with harvest two weeks later than 2020 and 13 days than last 6 years average, and this is a storming second vintage of a wine that comes from grapes that when younger were part of the Lapostolle Cuvée Alexander. Andrea Léon technical director. Just 6,700 bottles made.  2026-2040“

Im Weinberg: GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS Apalta is situated on a North to South exposure, which is quite rare in Chile. The Tinguiririca river rests on the southern side and the hills from the Coastal Cordillera surround the vineyard like a horseshoe. They are both integral in forming this unique terroir. This geography is responsible for the conditions that ensure balance for our vines and a slow ripening of the grapes. At sunrise and sunset, the Cordillera block the sun’s rays, limiting the vines exposure to intense sunshine, while the river has a cooling influence on the climate. CLIMATE CONDITIONS Apalta has a special meso-climate that is different from the rest of the Colchagua Valley. Its climate could be described as semi-dry Mediterranean with a winter only rainy season and a long dry summer season. During the growing season Apalta has warm temperatures with no rain due to the height of the Coastal Mountains which partially block the cold influence of the Pacific Ocean. We benefit from a wide temperature fluctuation between day and night which is a key quality factor for color and tannins in reds. Slow maturation allows the grapes to reach their ideal maturity with high concentration and character, preserving the fruit and high levels of natural acidity, which in turn allows for a long ageing potential. SOIL Apalta has incredibly old soils which originated mainly in the Cretacious (145-66 MY) from granitic and granodioritic material. On the hillside, the soils present angular stones, well decomposed with moderate to fine texture and clay underlying subsoils. On the semi and flatter areas, colluvial and some old alluvial material, from receiving the material from the piedmont and the river. With a thicker texture (sandy to sandy loam) and quartz gravel in the whole profile. Good drainage and slopes of 2-15%.

Notizen des Weinguts: HISTORY Clos du Lican is our hidden gem vineyard in the Apalta Valley, specifically in the San Jose area. Recognized as an official DO since May 2018, the ApaltaValley is known throughout Chile for the superb quality of its red wines. The region's particular terroir makes for very elegant, complex wines with great structure, depth, color and an excellent ageing potential. The Clos du Lican vineyard was bought in 2004 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, only 5km away from Clos Apalta. The vineyard is a 3km strip with an eastern exposure, going uphill from 245 to 443 meters a.s.l and surrounded by the mountains. It is planted mainly with Syrah, but also with Viognier, Mourvedre, Grenache and a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. Clos du Lican is a very elegant wine, with a red and black fruit aromatic profile and underlying freshness which enhances its complexity. The land was originally covered with huge granite stones. Carried by their vision, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and Cyril the Bournet started a gigantic work to shape the vineyard foot by foot. As Cathedral builders would have done a thousand years ago, they lifted those rocks and moved them around to create this sacred land of vine. Mr Jacques Marnier Lapostolle, Alexandra’s father, personally came to Chile in June 2006 to have a better understanding of the project’s reach and scope while he said it would take a miracle to pull this project off. The Clos du Lican 2019, first vintage ever produced was launched by Charles de Bournet, 7th generation of the Marnier Lapostolle family in March 2022 who is now leading Domaines Bournet-Lapostolle in its newest chapter of innovation, punctuated by the official recognition of the Apalta DO in 2018. Clos du Lican is the achievement of 3 generations of passion, hard work and dedication.
