$10.28The Story
The 2022 Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and expressive red from the prestigious Apalta Valley, crafted with a French winemaking philosophy and Chilean soul. Born from a vintage that allowed for excellent aromatic precision, it offers an intense bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, fresh cherries, and dark berries, layered with notes of rosemary, sage, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, showcasing a dense core of fruit supported by firm, polished tannins and a vibrant acidity. This estate-grown wine is certified organic and biodynamic, aged for 14 months in French oak to ensure a long, complex, and elegant finish.
James Suckling
A fresh nose full of fruit. Dark cherries, fresh blueberries, spices, crushed stones and olives. A touch of graphite, too. Well-structured and vertical on the palate, but there is also fluidity in the center palate filled with fruit. Tight grip of crunchy tannins at the end before a long, fruit-expressive finish. Drink from 2025.
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon strikes a desirable balance between soft, creamy approachability and a serious expression of its origins. On the nose, red and black fruits blend with fresh rosemary and sage aromas, all framed with judicious new oak. The palate is rich and layered, embracing the lavish house profile while retaining a deftness and purity that carries through to the elegant, refined finish.
