Lapostolle Blanco Pisco 40% 750ml Double Distilled; Coquimbo, Chile
| Description: | Lapostolle Pisco Blanco N/v D I S T I L L E R Y D E S C R I P T I O N Lapostolle was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and husband Cyril de Bournet upon their discovery of a unique Clos in the Apalta Valley sheltering 100 year-old pre-phylloxera vines. They quickly realized its potential for producing world-class wines. The Marnier-Lapostolle family has been recognized for fine wines and liqueurs since the early 19th century. In establishing her family's legacy in the New World, Alexandra brought generations of French winemaking tradition and expertise to the rugged landscape of the Colchagua Valley. Today Charles de Bournet, seventh generation, leads the winery in its newest chapter of innovation, punctuated by the official recognition of the Apalta Do in 2018. Together with Andrea LeĂłn, Technical Director & Winemaker, they continue to craft wines that honor the winery credo: French in essence, Chilean by birth. S Pi R I T D E S C R I P T I O N Lapostolle Pisco was created in honor of Jean Baptiste Lapostolle, the Frenchman who founded the House of Marnier-Lapostolle more than 180 years ago. Muscat of Alexandria and Pink Muscat from the Limari and Elqui Valleys are vinified, distilled, and aged using techniques adapted from Cognac production. Lapostolle Pisco has the soul of Cognac, the complexity of Gin, and the versatility of Vodka. Ta S T I N G N Ot E S Color: Crystal Clear Nose: Subtle aromas of lemongrass, tangerine rind, and white fruit such as green apple and pear. Palate: Velvety texture, herbal hints, floral notes such as jasmine, and some spicy notes in the finish. Pr O D U C T I O N Pr O C Es S To ensure the best distillation possible, Lapostolle uses a state-of-the-art Alembic Still from Cognac.
