Lapostolle was founded by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet in 1994. A blend of 28% Carmenere, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 21% Syrah, inky red with aromas of fresh black fruit and exotic spice. On the palate plum and blueberry flavors with leather and smoky oak and pepper spice. Savory soft tannins with spice on lingering ending. Nice Value. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

On the nose, perfumed, candied fruits of strawberries, watermelon, cherries & Rainer cherries. Ballpark chewing gum, soft, powdery chalkiness and pink rose petals. The mouthfeel is round, ripe and fresh. Fruits are; ripe strawberries, watermelon, cherries & Rainer cherries. Ballpark chewing gum, roses petals and really like the soft, delicate, powdery chalkiness and minerality. Acidity is round, soft and mouthwatering. The long finish is round, fresh and delicious. The 2016 yield was about 1/2 of normal. Photos of; the Marasanny vineyard being harvested, outside shot of the Domaine & their stainless tanks in the the cellar as well as Cyril. Producer history and notes...Domaine Charles Audoin lies in the village of Marsannay-la-Côte. Descended from a long line of wine growers passing down from father to son, Charles Audoin took over the family property in 1972 with his wife Marie-Françoise, an oenologist by training. Located within the commune of Marsannay-la-Côte. Domaine Charles Audoin began with only three hectares but the estate has grown to nearly 35 acres with a diversity of soils. After taking over his father’s five acres of vineyards, Charles Audoin and wife Marie-Françoise developed the estate through the restoration and the purchase of new lots. Their vines are over 45 years of age on average and have a south-eastern orientation. Cyril prefers lower yields and has less intensive extraction for softer and more elegant wines. Happy Bastille everyone!

Cyril Gautheron was named best new winemaker in Chablis in 2016. This was not given in a lottery..His wines are sourced from vineyards sitting on kimmeridgian soils with good sun exposure and protected from the cool winds of the north. Picture a slice of green apple on top of a brie cheese. This is how Alain Gautheron Chablis wines taste. All of them from the Bougros to his plain outstanding AC Chablis — 7 years ago
