The second wine from this notable estate is the 2019 Le Petit Clos, a blend of 49% Carmenere, 30% Merlot, 18 Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, raised in 50% new French oak. It has a great bouquet of ripe red and black currants, leafy tobacco, and chocolate, and there's a distinct Bordeaux-like lead pencil character that emerges with time in the glass. Possessing full-bodied richness, a lush, supple, forward mouthfeel, good freshness, and outstanding length, it's one heck of a second wine that should evolve gracefully over

The 2019 Le Petit Clos from Apalta, Colchagua, was aged for eight months in new French oak barrels, and then 14 months half new and half second used ones. Dark purple in the glass. It delivers an intricate nose of gentle pyrazine aromas such as jalapeño as well as blackberry, blueberry and other dark fruit over a mild, well-integrated bed of oak. In the mouth, it’s vigorous with a rich, expansive flow while the wood provides heft and underlines the jammy flavors. An elegant red that from an the excellent year.

Notes de graphite, de fusain, de violette, de griotte avec une trame florale très élégante et fraiche. Bouche veloutée, texture un peu tannique mais parfaitement enveloppée et une finale longue et persistante. Très aromatique en finale. Vendanges du 13 mars au 13 mai 2019. Premier millésime 2014.

The second wine from Clos Apalta, the 2019 Le Petit Clos was produced with a blend of 49% Carmenere, 30% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot from granite soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts with four to five weeks of maceration with manual punchdowns and malolactic in French oak barrels. The élevage was eight months in new barrels and a further 14 months in 50% new oak and 50% second use. It's a ripe and powerful red with 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.6. It has a nose of herbs and spices, and it's creamy and lush, with a juicy texture and a full body with an herbal finish. It has mellow acidity and a soft mouthfeel through round and fine tannins. 41,988 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021.

Grilled cedar oak on the first nose, and a punch of spice. Transports you to South America, with its red pepper spices, passionfruit and sweet black cherry fruit. This is enjoyable, unfussy, has a deliciously supple texture. Harvest March 13-May 13, taking a leisurely two months. Old vines head up to 100 years old, and the oldest ones are ungrafted. The first vintage of Petit Clos was in 2014, with the blend made in the cellar rather than specific plots. 8 months in new French oak, then 50/50 barrel and stainless steel.
