Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Franc
Deep ruby-red with violet highlights. The nose is expressive and polished, combining blackberry, black cherry, cassis, and ripe raspberry with classic Cabernet Franc notes of violet, graphite, black pepper, tobacco, and fresh herbs. The palate desiplauys generous dark fruit in balance with notes of plum, cocoa, cedar, dried herbs, and savory spice. Lapostolle wines are French in essence, Chile by birth. Crafted by Domaine Bournet-Lapostolle, producers of fine wines since 1827. Lapostolle is a result of our unique experience of craftsmanship and French know-how acquired during seven generations.
