One of the biggest names in wine is Casa Lapostolle, founded by Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet in 1994. Alexandra is a member of the renowned French, Marnier family, that has been dedicated for several generations to the production of high-quality spirits: Grand Marnier. After visiting Chile, Alexandra and Cyril not only fell in love with the Colchagua Valley, they also detected the enormous potential of the country to produce premium wines due to its exceptional geographical characteristics. Its aim is as simple as it is ambitious: to create world class wines using the French experience and the magnificent terroirs of Chile. It's no surprise they envisioned a Rose inspired in Provence with a delicate salmon color and a charming nose of fresh fruit & spicy aromas. Job well done as James Suckling calls this the Best Rose in Chile along with taking it to Saint Tropez. High marks for this price point. Ditch Whispering Angel and pick up Le Rose at half the price!
"A pure and gastronomic rosé with freshly cut grapefruit, nectarines and a bit of white cherries. Pure and bone-dry on the palate with a medium body. Subtle and very textured." James Suckling, 92 Points
