COMMENT
ボルドー格付け1級、ムートン ロートシルトとチリのコンチャイトロが最高峰のフランコ チリワインを創る目的で始められたジョイントヴェンチャーです。
アルマヴィーヴァに使われるのと同じ区画から造られるセカンドラベル。
2006年がファーストヴィンテージで、2019VINよりボルドーのラ プラス経由で世界に流通するようになりました。
非常に凝縮したブドウが得られた2019VIN。
口当たりは滑らかで心地良く、カベルネ由来の黒い果実の味わいが溢れます。

The first truly international release of the second wine is going to be the 2019 Epu, which has changed image and label, looking a little more like Almaviva, and is going to be sold through the Bordeaux négoce. 2019 was a very dry vintage, and the blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Carmenere, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc with slightly higher alcohol than 2018 and with lower acidity, matured in used barriques for one year. In terms of freshness, the wine is quite similar to the 2018 that I tasted next to it, obviously a little younger, quite intense and fruit-driven, spicy and herbal, with a creamy texture and fine-grained tannins. It's a second wine, but they also want to do something different and Epu is perhaps a little more classical, perhaps this is more Bordeaux and Almaviva is more Chilean. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020 and January 2021.
