Originally from Schönberg, in the Rhineland, fleeing the consequences of the defeat of Napoleon I, the Yung family origins settled for more than a century in Algeria. Already listed in the first edition of Féret des Vins d'Oranie in 1886, the family developed its vineyard until independence, until forced to abandon the wine estates it had owned since 1859. In 1862 Charles Young joined his older brother, already settled in Gironde. He then decides to acquire for his 2 children and his 2 nephews, the Château Haut Mondain, a 42-hectare AOC Bordeaux wine estate, followed then by Château Barail, Les Hauts de Palette and Moulin de Tassin. Since 2020, the Charles Yung & Fils vineyards have been committed to a societal and environmental approach by obtaining High Environmental Value (HVE), level 3 certification.

D’Alamel wines embody the outstanding growing conditions found in Chile, where they are born between the South Pacific ocean and the foothills of the Andes Mountains. These wines are named in honour of Cyril D'Alamel de Bournet, who co-founded Lapostolle Wine with his wife Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle. D'Alamel wines are the result of careful soil management, pruning, leaf pulling, and green harvests to ensure the right conditions for healthy vines that deliver their finest fruit year after year. D'Alamel wines use ecological bottles that are 14% lighter and made with recycled glass, and the raw ingredients used for the labels, boxes, and corks come from certified sustainable forests. Certified Carbon Neutral. For more info, visit Lapostolle D'Alamel website. VARIETALS 86% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Semillon, 7% Sauvignon Gris VINTAGE 2022 Download Tasting Note
