Lapostolle Le Rose 2023
92 Pts, James Suckling – 92 Pts, Tim Atkin – 90 Pts (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Pts, Vinous
The magic here comes from winemaker Andrea León, who has earned multiple 100-point scores from multiple publications and at this moment is arguably the very best doing it in all of South America. Her Provence-style blend from Chile’s legendary Apalta vineyards combines 39% Cinsault, 32% Grenache, 22% Syrah, and 7% Mourvedre from 100-year-old pre-phylloxera vines. The result is absolutely magic.
Suckling really nailed this review, calling it “Always pure and gastronomic as well as “pithy and textured with very good weight in the middle and a bone dry finish”.

92 Points, James Suckling
“Pale salmon hue. Elegant nose showing stone, grapefruit and a touch of cherries. Pure, pithy and textured, with very good weight in the middle and a bone-dry finish. Nice phenolics in the finish, but nothing grippy. Always pure and gastronomic. Fruit from Apalta. 39% cinsaut, 32% grenache, 22% syrah and 7% mourvedre.”

“A wine that tastes as good as it looks, this is a skillful blend of Cinsault, 32% Garnacha, 22% Syrah and 7% Mourvedre from Andrea Leon. Fresh, focused and comparatively light bodied, it has enticing hibiscus and rose petal aromas and a lively palate of watermelon, wild strawberry and orange zest.” 92 Points, Tim Atkin, MW
90 Points, Vinous
The 2023 Le Rose is primarily Cinsault with a dash of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache. Displaying a copper sheen in the glass, it offers aromas of cherries and flowers, unfolding into a dry, refreshing glou glou Rose. 90 Pts, Vinous

A delicate floral nose is attractive and leads to a structured palate. Flavors of strawberry and watermelon are balanced. This rosé has weight and lovely acidity, leading to bright fruity notes in the finish.
