Le Petit Clos offers a fresher, more approachable take on Clos Apalta’s iconic terroir. Deep purple in color, it opens with a spicy, fruit-forward nose of black and red berries. The Carménère-driven blend brings a round, juicy core with vibrant structure and a long, lifted finish. A masterclass in elegance and balance from Domaines Bournet-Lapostolle.

A polished expression of Apalta—ready to drink, impossible to resist.

A nice touch of baked cherries and dark chocolate to the deep blackberry fruit. Ink and a touch of graphite and dried herbs. Full-bodied and pretty powerful with fine-grained tannins and a long, extensive finish. 68% carmenere, 16% cabernet sauvignon,15% merlot and 1% cabernet franc. Give it two more years to let the fruit settle more. Drink or hold.
