________________________________________
Cheval des Andes wine combines the vibrant and intense expression of Argentine Malbec with the rigor, elegance and savoir-faire of a great Bordeaux.
It is a unique blend of Malbec grapes and Bordeaux varietals; a set that has the exuberance of Malbec, balanced by the temperance of Cabernet Sauvignon and completed with touches of Petit Verdot.
Cheval des Andes’ vision is to bring Château Cheval Blanc’s winemaking philosophy -based on aging potential and elegance- to Argentina. Cheval des Andes makes wines that age gracefully and “travel through the decades,” according to Pierre Lurton, president of Château Cheval Blanc and Cheval des Andes.
These wines are elegant, that is, they are the most refined expression of Mendoza’s terroir. On the nose, they are complex rather than intense, and on the palate, they are balanced rather than powerful.
