2021 Cheval des Andes

EXPECTED DECEMBER 2024

The collaboration between Cheval Blanc from Saint-Emilion and Terrazas from Mendoza has an additional unexpected French touch. The founder and owner of Terrazas is namely the prestigious Champagne house Moët & Chandon. The style of Cheval des Andes is unique with all elements inspired by Cheval Blanc. The wine of Cheval des Andes combines the lively and intense expression of Argentine Malbec with the rigor, elegance and savoir-faire of a great Bordeaux. The vision of Cheval des Andes is to bring the winemaking philosophy of Château Cheval Blanc - which focuses on ageing possibilities and elegance - to Argentina. Cheval des Andes makes wines that age gracefully and "travel through the decades", according to Pierre Lurton, chairman of Château Cheval Blanc and Cheval des Andes.

CHEVAL DES ANDES 2021, MENDOZA ARGENTINA is also called The Argentinean expression of Château Cheval Blanc Light and elegant, the 2021 Cheval des Andes is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. It achieves a feat that is only possible in cool years: a supple texture, an agile palate and just the right amount of freshness for a nuanced build. As the wine breathes, it reveals notes of fresh cherry and plum, with a touch of menthol, cherry and a hint of pepper. It opens with aromas of sandalwood and oak that complete the whole. This is a leaner, more ethereal Cheval than other years, but with a higher level of precision. It is a wine inspired by Bordeaux, done in Bordeaux style, with terroir from Mendoza.
