Tasting note
The second wine from Clos Apalta, the 2019 Le Petit Clos, was produced with a blend of 49% Carmenere, 30% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot from granite soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts with four to five weeks of maceration with manual punch-downs and malolactic in French oak barrels. The élevage was eight months in new barrels and a further 14 months in 50% new oak and 50% second-use oak. It's a ripe and powerful red with 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.6. It has a nose of herbs and spices, and it's creamy and lush, with a juicy texture and a full body with an herbal finish. It has mellow acidity and a soft mouthfeel through round and fine tannins. 41,988 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021.
I tasted the wines from Clos Apalta for their release through the Place de Bordeaux in September 2022, but I also include those notes here for context and completeness.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
'My mother, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, always dreamt of crafting the perfect wine. She spent years in search of an exceptional terroir to create a unique wine which would come to take its place as one of the best in the world. This was 25 years ago. Having crossed several continents, she found the picture-perfect location of the Apalta Valley. For her dream to become reality, she let the rolling mountains and sunlit air speak to her, guessed their extraordinary potential, and tamed them. French expertise would refine the breathtaking landscape with hundreds of careful changes and masterful adjustments. Clos Apalta was thus born, an enchanting wine with a shimmering texture and complexity that stimulates the senses and excites the imagination.'

CLOS APALTA
A glass of Clos Apalta opens the doors to a dream. Just retreat into yourself and listen to what it has to offer you. First of all, there is a kind of poetry to its colors, like an iridescent indigo dress with carmine reflections in its folds, then the texture, soft as a summer evening, and lastly, its bouquet; a cascade of aromas, black cherry, blackberry, leather, spices, mocha and cocoa...Take a deep breath and let the smell send shivers down your spine. Then, let yourself be carried away by the fine elegance of its tannins. In this way, slowly, Clos Apalta tells you its history, its terroir, its varietals and its education.
Clos Apalta knows what it is impressing on you – an emotional outburst and sensual vibrations which make sure it is never forgotten.
