Casa Lapostolle is a French-Chilean enterprise, founded in 1994 by the French Lapostolle family and the Rabat family of Chile. The Lapostolle family established the Grand Marnier brand, and they have also been involved in winemaking for many generations. Located in Colchagua, Chile, the 900-acre estate produces a total of 200,000 cases of wine annually. Though it makes several varietals, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah, its signature wine is its Clos Apalta, which is generally a blend of about 43% Carmenere, 30% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. The famed French consulting winemaker Michel Rolland is part of the winemaking team at the estate.
