IdentityCHEVAL DES ANDES

Founded in 1999 in one of Argentina’s best renowned regions – Luján de Cuyo in the north of Mendoza – Cheval des Andes spans an exceptional area of ungrafted old Malbec vines blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique terroir, located in the foothills of the Andes cordillera, gives rise to the production of a fresh and elegant Andes grand cru that promises to age well. The “millésime effect” then gives its uniqueness to every vintage. Each grape variety is planted in a carefully-selected terroir so that it can reveal its full potential.Today, the vision of committed viticulturists, helped by the knowledge of the teams of Château Cheval Blanc, has been achieved through twenty years of daily care in these unique vineyards which now produce a genuine “grand cru” of the Andes.

Through the years and over several vintages a certain style has taken shape. Initially meant to be a Bordeaux style wine, it is in fact very Argentine. An Argentine which gallops though time, travelling with elegance. This wine has its own particular character

ICON

Cheval des Andes 2010 is made from a unique blend of three grape varieties: malbec, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Each hand-picked grape is fermented in oak barrels for 18 months before being blended. This vintage is defined by its aromatic complexity and elegant tannins; a subtle combination of freshness, balance and ripeness.

SAVOIR-FAIRE

As is the case with all ‘grands crus’, Cheval des Andes originates from a great ‘terroir’. But it is also the fruit of precise and meticulous viticulture. The vineyards are managed plot by plot according to the soil, grape variety, age, fertility and other factors in order to produce the very best grapes.Our team of winegrowers understands, observes and manages each individual vine in order to achieve a ripe and homogenous harvest throughout the vineyard. Always with one vision: Time is an ally for a great wine allowing it to become refined and reach perfection whilst still remaining proud of its roots. As the vision is accomplished, the edges are polished; freshness, balance and complexity become the cornerstones of Cheval des Andes. Its style becomes elegant, blending is perfected and the wine promises to age well.
