The Mâconnais hills form a set of inclines separated by parallel faults and facing north/north-east or south/south-west. Chardonnay wines for cellaring come from brown limestone or chalky soils and rendzine terrains. The siliceous, clay or sandy soils, often mixed with flat sandstone pebbles, favour the earlier drinking Chardonnay.
In this part of southern Burgundy, the vines form a part of a busy landscape of little hills and valleys that look as though they have been painted in water colours. This charming landscape was celebrated by the poet Lamartine, one of its native sons. The town of Mâcon maintains very close connections with this serene, cheerful, vineyard landscape and its traditions. White wines from Mâcon have been AOC accredited since 1937 and those grown in the arrondissement of Mâcon and its 11 adjacent communes are entitled to the appellation Mâcon-Villages.

The village of Mercurey is situated in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise and is one of the largest winegrowing appellations of Burgundy. The vines grow at altitudes between 230 and 320 meters in limestone-marl soils on slopes facing the midday sun. Mercurey benefits from cooler climatic conditions than the Côte de Beaune, thus ripening is later but cellaring potential is very good.

Lapostolle Le Rosé is inspired on a provençal style, focused on bringing the most elegant and subtle expression of a rosé blend from Apalta vineyards.
Lapostolle Le Rosé comes from our San José Estate located in the Apalta Valley, near the town of Santa Cruz, 170 Kilometers South West from Santiago. The 2023 Apalta vintage had an early warm season with a historic drought and 23% lower rain deficit than historical data.

The brand Le Preare was created by Cantina Valpolicella Negrar to pay tribute to a history, where previous generations very often paid a very high price, allowing todays generation of vine growers to benefit from the hard work of their forefathers.
Located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico, this area was also known for its prestigious stones, such as the red marble of Verona. It was widely used by the Venetians when building their villas. However, the use of other local stones, less prestigious then marble, was wide spread. The antique mines where the stone was taken, were called “preare” in local dialect. The local stones were used to separate the vineyards and also to build the terraces, allowing the vines to grow also on steep slopes.
This is the red wine, young and directly that preserve the authentic soul of the earth in which he is born: the Valpolicella.
