The little sibling to one of Chile's most celebrated wines — and no slouch in its own right.

The 2021 Le Petit Clos combines 68% Carmenère, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, all sourced from the legendary Apalta Vineyard in Colchagua. Displaying a deep purple hue, it offers plum and blackberry aromas along with bay leaf, boldo, and menthol hints over an ashy marmalade core. On the palate it's indulgent, plush, and rich, with a soft, overwhelming mouthfeel that lingers long with a precise, juicy, and slightly refreshing personality. 

94 Points
"The 2021 Le Petit Clos is composed of 68% Carménère, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new oak. It features black and red fruit with a distinct floral bouquet, contrasting with the more savory and woody Clos Apalta bottling, and develops additional spice-driven notes after a brief time in the glass. The palate is smooth, creamy and seductive, culminating in a lush and drying finish framed by fine-grained, extracted tannins and a hint of mineral lift. Within the Clos Apalta range, the Le Petit Clos bottling foregrounds its origins and varietal composition a touch more than the more comparatively lavish grand vin, which, to my palate, makes for a close gap between the two."
