About this Item
Casa Lapostolle was founded in Chile in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle of the Grand Marnier family, with Michel Rolland long its consulting oenologist. The Cuvée Alexandre range is its terroir-focused tier; this Merlot is grown on the granite slopes of the Apalta amphitheatre in Colchagua. 2012 was a cool, even Chilean vintage.
Provenance
The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.
