Est. delivery in Autumn, 2026 Le Petit Clos is the second wine of Clos Apalta, one of the most celebrated estates in Colchagua Valley and the project that put Chile firmly on the fine wine map. Where the grand vin demands patience and ceremony, Le Petit Clos is built for earlier pleasure: a Carmenère-led blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot that brings the same hillside fruit and careful winemaking at a more approachable moment. The 2023 vintage delivered a warm, even-ripening season, and the result is a wine of real generosity — ripe dark fruit, warm spice, and polished tannins that carry the Apalta signature without asking you to wait a decade for it. A genuinely delicious introduction to what Clos Apalta does: wines that feel confident and complete.
