We are pleased to offer : Clos Apalta Vinothèque 2012 - a limited library release, 10 years after harvest.

Message from Charles de Bournet

"In September 2015, our partnership with CVBG was officially launched, with the initial release of our 2012 vintage.
Today, 10 years from that first vintage distributed by CVBG, we bring our most faithful followers back to the beginning of our story by relaunching the 2012 vintage as part of the “Vinothèque” series.
This extremely limited release will come back every year under the concept of 10 years of cellar ageing between the harvest date and the Vinothèque release date, a fantastic way to underscore the extraordinary ageing potential of our wines.

Clos Apalta 2012 was bottled from 25th to 28th of 2014 and then kept back in the Bournet-Lapostolle family cellar to age in optimal conditions, under the close watch of its makers. Today, 10 years on, the wine is marked by tannins that evoke the finest velvet, enhanced complexity and an elegance refined by the passing of time. It has now fully blossomed.

From its first vintage in 1997, Clos Apalta has achieved worldwide acclaim. To date it remains the only South American wine to have been ranked #1 wine of the world by Wine Spectator, which was achieved with our 2005 vintage in the 2008 edition of their illustrious Top 100. The only other wine from the South Hemisphere to share this honour is Penfolds Grange.

Clos Apalta has consistently received critical praise and is widely considered as one of the world’s finest wines. In the last 5 vintages, Clos Apalta is the only wine in Latin America that has received 4 times 100 pts, 3 of these by the world renowned American wine critic James Suckling.

Clos Apalta has come a long way, and 10 years have passed since we harvested the 2012 vintage, so it is time for us to look back and celebrate what we have accomplished. After all, wine is about experiences, and we hope you will enjoy this one.

Charles de Bournet”

  

About the vintage : 

This 2012 vintage started with a hot and dry spring, followed by a sunny summer with cold nights that gave us big thermal amplitude, a key factor for quality. No rain was recorded during this harvest season, and high temperatures during the summer and fall resulted in earlier than normal ripening and harvest. Concerning the temperatures in spring, September was exceptionally hot. It was a small summer in the middle of the spring. October and November were just a little bit warmer and permitted a nice flowering of our grapevines. Summer started warmer than usual in December. However cool nights refreshed the ambient, raised air humidity, producing more colour in the berries and preserving their natural acidity. The ripeness came earlier than usual. We harvested the red varieties 3 weeks earlier to achieve the right level of ripeness.

A soft and juicy red with dark berry and chocolate character. Some black olive, too. Full body, round and attractive. Delicious now. A blend of 66% carmenere, 19% merlot and 15% cabernet sauvignon.

Dense, ripe and powerful style, with concentrated flavors of dark plum, blackberry and chocolate. Very plush and creamy midpalate, with a rich finish loaded with espresso notes, along with medium-grained tannins. Carmenère, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2012 Clos Apalta started off a little closed, but with air, the spicy aromas seemed to dominate (cloves, black pepper); there are also lots of smoky notes over a core of ripe black fruit with a volatile hint. It feels young and greatly marked by its two years in new French oak barrels. The palate is still young and tannic, and the finish is a little dry. There's not a lot of fruit in there and it somehow feels like it lacks a bit in the mid palate. For fans of the style, but even though, you should wait to pull the cork. 61,000 bottles produced. 91+

A wonderfully vivid red with complex aromas of rose petal, black currant, blackberry, black pepper and sandalwood. Full-bodied, yet ultra-refined. Silky textured tannins. Gorgeous finish. So much intense fruit with spice, currant and chocolate. A blend of carmenere, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. All grapes are biodynamically grown. Better in 2019.

Lusty notes of coconut, charcoal, vanilla and herbs grace core blackberry and cassis aromas. This is massive and widespread on the palate, but the key to its success is impeccable balance. Toasty, minty flavors of blackberry and cassis are chocolaty and lightly herbal, while the finish blends lushness, power, heft and smoky, herbal flavors that go on and on. Drink this Carmenère-led blend through 2024.
