ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Clos Apalta: A legacy of passion and excellence
Laura Olson
With June off to a fast start, we are over the moon with excitement as we jump right into our Sommelier Club month. For this release, we are thrilled to share the iconic Clos Apalta wine with our members. There is plenty of deep-rooted history in this wine, so let’s take you on a journey to Chile as we share what Clos Apalta is all about.
The story of Clos Apalta is deeply intertwined with the rich history and passion of the Bournet Lapostolle family, who have dedicated themselves to the production of high-quality spirits and wines for generations. This legacy began in 1827 when Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle, the founding father, established a fruit liqueur distillery near Versailles, France. The family's commitment to crafting exceptional beverages continued with Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, who created the iconic Grand Marnier liqueur in 1880, a blend of cognac and rare bitter oranges that quickly gained international acclaim.
In 1994, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, the great-granddaughter of Louis-Alexandre, embarked on a new adventure in Chile. Her ambition was to produce an exceptional wine and contribute to the qualitative development of the country's wine industry. With unwavering dedication and a tireless pursuit of perfection, Alexandra shaped the Clos Apalta vineyard foot by foot, transforming it into an iconic wine that would soon capture the attention of wine enthusiasts worldwide.
