Clos du Lican is a winery located in the Apalta Valley in Chile, renowned for producing high-quality red wines. It was established in 2004 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet as part of the family estate, Domaines Bournet-Lapostolle.
The vineyards cover 15 hectares, primarily planted with Syrah, with the goal of crafting single-vineyard wines. The first vintage, Clos du Lican 2019, was released in 2022 under the leadership of Charles de Bournet, the seventh generation of the Marnier Lapostolle family.
