The philosophy of the maison is to embody the culture of the Grands Crus. Clos Apalta, a myriad of details that blend into a miracle of balance and momentum.Charles-Henri de Bournet Marnier Lapostolle

President and Chief Executive Officer

Since 2013, Charles de Bournet Marnier Lapostolle has been stewarding the future of the Domaine Bournet Lapostolle. From his parents, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and Cyril de Bournet, he has inherited two vital attitudes towards wine: both a passion and a desire to perfect. In his eyes, the Clos Apalta adventure will never be over, because we can always surpass our previous actions. His aim is to continue the work of past generations without cutting anything short, to go always one step further. It is an ongoing quest for a perfect wine which is handed down from generation to generation…

Such a project encourages you to take on all kinds of challenges because a jump into the unknown fights the preconceived limitations. My mission was to make a wine of the future with a bold identity. Today, without a doubt, Clos Apalta is an icon.Michel Rolland

Oenologist / Consultant

Michel Rolland has been nurturing an old bond with the family through four trips a year and daily exchanges with them. Since 1997, the oenologist and consultant has been personally involved in all Clos Apalta production, the only property he advises for in Chile. The rise in quality of the wines would not have been possible without his personal investment in each stage of this large project.
