Chile Trio – Structured Tasting & Dinner
Thursday, October 9, 2008

Taste the Wines of Three Top Chilean Producers
Casa Lapostolle, Errázuriz, Montes

Chile's premium wines are making big waves around the world for delivering exceptional quality, versatility, and a range of dynamic styles. The past 10 years have seen popularity and critics' scores for these wines soar to new heights, with a handful of progressive winemakers leading the charge.

VINTAGES invites you to discover what top international critics and savvy wine lovers around the globe are raving about. Taste the premium wines of Chile, and experience why unique terroir and passionate winemaking are setting this nation apart.

With ancient ungrafted vines imported from France – the basis for their iconic Clos Apalta series – complementing new Chilean plantings, plus the expertise of legendary winemaking consultant Michel Rolland, Casa Lapostolle creates truly inspired wines.

Dynamic owner Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle co-manages with her husband Cyril de Bournet.

“From the very beginning we knew we had great terroir and vines,” she says. “And I knew we had the potential, providing we focused on quality.”

Though they've made wine for well over a century, Viña Errázuriz actively seeks out modern approaches. Adding to their impressive list of world-class wines including the prestigious Maximiano Founder's Reserve, in 1995 they teamed up with Napa legend Robert Mondavi to create the award-winning Seña.

Charismatic president Eduardo Chadwick is passionate about Chile's potential:

“We also need to tell the sophisticated consumers about the different terroirs in Chile and how we make unique wines.”

Synonymous with quality since its inception two decades ago, this innovative producer's wines, including the super-premium Alpha M, have dazzled international critics and made it one of the hottest names in Chilean wine.

Visionary founder/winemaker (and sometime airplane and helicopter pilot) Aurelio Montes has always moved ably into new territory.

“It can be safely predicted that Chilean wines will compete at the top echelon, producing wines to challenge the best in the world in ten years or less.”

Join VINTAGES in raising a glass with this trio of trendsetting winemakers, and taste some of the best examples of premium Chilean wine at this exclusive structured tasting and dinner event.
