Le Petit Clos is the second wine of Clos Apalta, created with the vintage 2014. Le Petit Clos originates from the same vineyard as Clos Apalta, and benefits from the exact same care both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The 2023 displays a deep red colour with violet highlights. The nose reveals aromas of red fruit, redcurrant and herbs, complemented by notes of spice and pencil lead. On the palate, the wine is smooth and juicy, with well-defined tannins, good density and a long finish.

Critic Reviews

94 Points, Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous: "The 2023 Le Petit Clos (45% Carménère, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot) from Apalta was aged 18 months in French oak, 35% new. It opens with ripe plum, a touch of violet and soft blackberry, with oak in the background. The palate is smooth and fruit-driven, with a fine texture that is slightly lighter than the previous vintage due to an earlier harvest. It retains depth and a clear, lively expression." 07/26

95 Points, Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com: "DeAromas of rich cassis, carmenere spiciness, tobacco and a touch of chocolate. Nicely fluid, with fine-grained tannins and a long finish. Supple at the end. 45% carmenere, 41% cabernet sauvignon, 11% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Drink or hold." 07/26
