Clos Apalta Le Petit Clos 2022 375ml 12 Pack

Le Petit Clos, an invitation to delight Tucked away in the Colchagua Valley, near the town of Santa Cruz, the Apalta Valley was the place selected by a visionary in the 1910s who planted this amazing vineyard using a unique French massal selection. Clos Apalta was born in 1997 as the iconic wine of the Domaines Bournet-Lapostolle in Chile under the idea to magnify the exceptional terroir of Apalta with French expertise. Le Petit Clos is the second wine of Clos Apalta , created with the vintage 2014. Le Petit Clos originates from the same vineyard as Clos Apalta, and benefits from the exact same care both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The 2022 Vintage Andrea Leon, Technical Director, presents Petit Clos 2022: https://youtu.be/LJ8LFqI3DUo The 2022 vintage in Apalta experienced cooler conditions, slightly smaller yields, and a slightly longer growing season. The winter was mostly dry, but the season saw 317 mm of rain, almost 50% of normal. The spring was marked by inconsistent weather, with cold September, hot October, November, and another cold December. Despite these unstable conditions, there were no recorded frosts, causing a 7 to 11-day delay in shooting and flowering. The summer saw cooler temperatures and increased sunlight in the vineyard, affecting the grapes’ growth. A careful irrigation program was crucial to protect the grapes and ensure perfect maturity. Harvesting began seven days later than last year’s, depending on the specific block. The 2022 season was cooler but also had good conditions for fruit maturation in most varieties. The moderate temperatures during the ripening period allowed for crafting wines that expressed the different microterroirs of Apalta, with expressive fruit, good palate density and texture, balance, and excellent aging potential. Tasting Notes: Beautiful red robe with dark cherry edges. Expressive nose with red fruit, with spices and well integratede oak with sweet spices. On the palate, ripe red fruits opens up toward complex structure with vivid tanins and long and lasting palate.
