  The 2022 Le Petit Clos is composed of 59% Carménère, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot from Apalta. It opens with black fruit aromas of blackberry and ripe plum, followed by hints of spice and ash. Oak and camphor emerge in the background. Broad and flavorful, with well-managed grip and juicy texture, this finishes with herbal nuances and lingering pyrazines. A cool year brought agility and lift, which shape the long, rich finish.  06/2025

The 2022 Le Petit Clos is expressive, floral and lush on the nose, combining dried herbs, menthol, purple flowers and dark fruit aromas with poise, restraint and increasing energy as it spends time in the glass. The palate is rich yet contained and elegant, smoothly transitioning into a composed finish that balances a luscious, sweet core of dark fruits with refined tannins and graphite undertones. This is a blend of 59% Carménère, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. 08/2025

 The second wine of the estate, the 2022 Le Petit Clos is based on Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Its healthy ruby/purple hue is followed by a beautiful nose of gamey red and blue fruits, iron, peppery herbs, and flowers. It’s balanced, medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, and fine tannins. 06/2025

  A deep, complex nose with multiple layers of graphite, dark olives, blackberries and dark chocolate. Really fine-grained, powdery tannins with ripe and juicy fruit. A touch of pepper at the end, followed by a lengthy finish. Fresh and slightly opulent. 59% carmenere, 33% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 3% petit verdot. Drink or hold. 04/2025
