Lapostolle was founded by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet in 1994. The Marnier Lapostolle family, founders, and owners of the world-renowned liqueur Grand Marnier is famous for producing spirits and liqueurs, but the family has also been involved in winemaking for generations.

In 2014, Clos Apalta gave birth to its second wine, Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta. Le Petit Clos offers a different interpretation of this unique terroir, using the same grapes, but in different proportions, and offering young vines a chance to prove their worth before they can make it into the Grand Vin.

Superb color, dark garnet red, deep and intense.

Spicy and subtle nose, great elegance and aromatic complexity with notes of ripe fruit, blueberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry, opening on toasted and fine woody notes.

Frank and soft attack with savory, silky and well-integrated tannins. Full, round and fleshy palate ending with a magnificent aromatic persistence full of finesse.
