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 León, Technical Director & Winemaker, they continue to craft wines that honor the
winery credo: French in essence, Chilean by birth.

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.
