2020 Clos du Lican 6 Pack

Today, we are thrilled to release the second vintage which is the 2020 Clos du Lican. Clos du Lican, a hidden gem in the Apalta Valley Clos du Lican is Domaines Bournet-Lapostolle’s hidden gem. It reflects Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet's passion, hard work, long-term vision and knowledge transmission. After having succeeded in revealing the Grand Cru that was lying in the Apalta Valley, in 2004, the couple found another magical place only 5km away from Clos Apalta's vineyard. The land was initially covered with enormous granite stones and had never seen a single vine root there. However, the place had a very special energy that in a way, was almost sacred. It convinced Alexandra and Cyril to undergo an extraordinary project to reshape the land and plant vines to produce another fine wine that is as unique as Clos Apalta. To illustrate the immense scope of this venture, when Alexandra's father discovered the place he said that it would take a miracle to pull the project off. The couple started its new adventure. As Cathedral builders would have done a thousand years ago, they lifted the rocks and moved them in order to plant over 15 hectares of vines, mainly made of Syrah. The philosophy is the same here as it is at Clos Apalta: to use organic and biodynamic practices to protect the biodiversity and preserve the purity of the fruit. Every great achievement is born of a long-term vision. In 2013, Charles de Bournet, 7th generation,  took over from his parents and has continued to work on this extraordinary project ever since. The dream came true in 2022, when he launched the first vintage of Clos du Lican. The 2019 Clos du Lican is an elegant, complex wine with intense fruit and silky tannins. "A new and exciting single-vineyard 100% Syrah" 99pts by James Suckling.
