Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Chardonnay 100% of the grapes were hand harvested in small 14 kilos crates, then the whole grape bunch was directly pressed, and the juice naturally decanted in stainless steel tanks at low temperature. The 2015 vintage, 82% of the juice was fermented in French oak barrels at 15 – 18°C and 18% was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 12 – 14°C. Our Cuvée Alexandre Chardonnay was 100% aged in French oak barrels for 11 months (49% in new French oak barrel and 51% second and third use French oak barrel). The result is a well-integrated oak with elegant structure to enhance the natural acidity and freshness. No malolactic fermentation was done. 2016 : 93 JS | 2015 : 94 JS, 90 WS Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Merlot Express the terroir of Apalta is our mission; so, our winemaking philosophy remains a very natural process with minimal intervention. Our key points are 100% hand harvest in small cases of 14 kilos, strict fruit selection by 94% optical state of the art grape selection by Vistalys and 6% hand de-stemming of the grapes. Fermentation was done with native yeast and there were gentle extraction methods during maceration and a judicious use of oak to preserve the fruit but integrate the complexity that a wine of this quality deserves. 2015 : 93 JS | 2014 : 94 JS Lapostolle Le Rośe Red Blend Le Rosé is sourced from a selection of the best lots of Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. All grapes were harvested earlier in the season to keep high level of acidity and a fresh fruit expression. The grapes are carefully pressed, and the free run juice is decanted naturally at low temperature. All fermentations were made in stainless steel tanks, between 14C° and 16C°. The wine was stored for 3 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. 2017 : 91 JS | 2016 : 91 JS
