Get to know Château Alessan
A Bordeaux-inspired wine house, Chilean-grown, and built for the tables that matter.
What makes a wine house worth remembering?
We work with a single grower in Chile. The fruit is selected by hand. The ageing happens on the house's terms — slowly, deliberately, without hurry.
Single-grower sourcing
One relationship. One vineyard block. The fruit comes from people we know by name.
Bordeaux-inspired blending
We reference Pauillac, not Pomerol. Cabernet sauvignon leads, with structure and ageability in mind.
Reserva and above
We only produce reserva, gran reserva, and ultra-premium tiers. No entry-level bottlings.
New York taste, Chilean soil
The fruit is Chilean. The sensibility is Upper East Side. Both show in every bottle.
Slow, small-production ageing
We age in French oak on the house's own terms. No hurry. The wine finishes when it finishes.
A single grower, a single vision
Bernard M Alessan built Château Alessan with a cellar palate and a New York address. Every label reflects that pairing.

Elena works directly with growers in Chile's Colchagua and Maipo valleys. She ensures each reserva lot meets the house standard before it leaves the vineyard.
A mission rooted in two places
Our mission is to build a modern prestige wine house anchored to a single grower in Chile and to the tables of New York. We pair New World fruit with Old World discipline, produce small-lot reserva wines, and grow alongside the partners who serve them.
Seventeen years of sourcing the finest Chilean reserva.
Inquire without the pitch. Whether you're a hotel group or a private collector, we'll discuss what works for your table.
Bottles, sourcing, and private labels
A few things people ask us. If yours isn't here, we're just a message away.
Where are the grapes grown?
Our wines come from select vineyards in Chile, where the climate and soils produce grapes with structure and depth. Each wine is a single-grower expression, not a blend of anonymous sources.
What tiers do you offer?
We work with reserva, gran reserva, and ultra-premium tiers. Every bottle is curated for balance, ageability, and a clear sense of place.
Can you create a private label for my restaurant or hotel?
Yes. We develop bespoke wine programs for hospitality groups, country clubs, and private clients. You choose the profile, and we handle the sourcing, branding, and production.
What makes Château Alessan different?
We are a single house with a clear reference: Bordeaux. Our wines are Chilean-grown but styled with restraint, structure, and a quiet ambition to sit on the best tables.
How do I order a case or a private label?
Send us a note through the contact page. We respond personally, without pressure. Orders and partnerships begin with a conversation about what you're looking for.
