Casa Lapostolle Description
Casa Lapostolle Merlot Cuvee Alexandre is a vibrant expression of Chilean elegance, flaunting a beautiful red hue with a bright purple robe that draws you in. On the nose, it bursts with inviting aromas of red fruits like cherries and strawberries, layered with fresh herbal notes and just a hint of vanilla. The palate is equally enticing—elegant, juicy tannins deliver a smooth mouthfeel, while the moderate oak is perfectly integrated, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This Merlot pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb chops, herbed mushroom risotto, or a creamy brie—making it a versatile companion for any flavorful occasion.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A fresh and vibrant merlot with racy plums, cherries, olives and touches of pencil shavings, iron and cumin. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a crunchy, fresh finish. Pretty long and fruity. Textbook-quality merlot. Better from 2025.
Vinous Media: 90 Points
This 2022 Merlot Cuvée Alexandre is sourced from Apalta in the Colchagua Valley. It delivers the expected ripe varietal character, with cherry and spices set against a balsamic backdrop. Dry and juicy, with reactive, structured tannins, it leaves a fairly clingy mouthfeel with a lingering balsamic whiff. It will certainly darken in bottle, but it will also soften over time.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Hailing from Apalta, this wine starts with aromas of ripe bramble berries. It was aged 14 months in oak barrels and, as a result, the fresh palate showcases bright fruit flavors and light notes of toasted oak, creating a balanced and concentrated mouthfeel.
Wine Advocate: 89 Points
The 2022 Cuvée Alexandre Merlot opens with a fruit-forward, floral bouquet and a chocolate-driven, creamy backdrop. The palate is polished and sleek, finishing on a straightforward note with a touch of tannic grip. As with the entire Lapostolle range, this offers an accessible yet luxurious look at the Apalta region. It contains 11% Syrah and 4% Grenache.
