Product Notes

Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Pinot Noir is a high-quality red wine crafted with the utmost care and precision. The grapes are carefully selected from the most pristine regions of Central Chile, ensuring that only the finest produce goes into the wine. This pinot noir boasts an elegant, deep red color, with a complex nose of black cherries, forest floor and subtle spices. On the palate, the wine has a full-bodied structure, with soft tannins and flavors of ripe fruit and a hint of vanilla. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a delightful aftertaste of red berries and nutmeg. This wine is best served slightly chilled and pairs well with roasted meats and game.

About the Winery

You can understand the essence and culture of Lapostolle Wines when you read the brand’s tagline – French by essence, Chilean by birth. Established in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, this label’s main aim was to spread the wine-rich terroirs of Chile to the world. The seed for starting this label was sown when the couple visited the beautiful Chilean valley of Colchagua. The soil, terroir and the climatic conditions of this place were too good to grow premium-quality vines here.

What started as a small name has now grown into a big name today. Currently, the family-owned wine estate owns 370 hectares under vine, located across three vineyards in Colchagua, Cachapoal and Casablanca. All these vineyards are located in some of the best Chilean terroirs ever; therefore, the fruits produced here are extremely intense and flavourful.

Casablanca Valley – The Atalayas Vineyard located here stretches across 43.3 hectares. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are grown here in plenty.

Cachapoal Valley – The Las Kuras Vineyard located in this valley is quite close to the Andes Mountain Range. There are 109.9 hectares under vine here. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah vines are found here.

Colchagua Valley – The Apalta Vineyard is located at around 200km away from the main city of Santiago. This vineyard is surrounded by many hills, which makes it perfect for growing varietals such as Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah.

Lapostolle Winery is located in the small region of Cunaco, close to the Santa Cruz town. This is the original winery of this group and it was established in 1994. To date, some of the label’s iconic wines are created here. Stainless steel and French oak barrels are used for fermenting the wines here to retain the character of the grapes used.
