The 2011 vintage of Cheval des Andes, produced in the high-altitude region of Argentina, is a true reflection of its terroir. This 3000mL bottle is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and powerful. Upon pouring, the wine displays a deep ruby color with hints of purple. The nose is filled with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate, followed by subtle notes of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with silky tannins and flavors of ripe blackberry, cherry, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a hint of vanilla and oak on the palate. This vintage of Cheval des Andes is a testament to the exceptional winemaking skills of the producers in Argentina, and is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates.
Winemakers Notes
Cheval des Andes, the "grand cru" of the Andes
Cheval des Andes, is the fruit of a fusion between two cultures combining the vision and expertise of Château Cheval Blanc with high altitude wine-growing in the Mendoza region. Under challenging climatic conditions, this is where Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon unite in a blend which is born at the foot of the Andes mountain range.
Conceived in 1999, this vision of wine growing is completely unusual as it combines two very different "terroirs" such us Las Compuertas in Lujan de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira in Uco Valley, coupled with two legendary grape varieties and a desire to create complexity out of diversity. Today, the vision of committed viticulturists has been achieved through twenty years of daily care in these unique vineyards which now produce a genuine "grand cru" of the Andes. As the vision is accomplished, the edges are polished; freshness, balance and complexity become the cornerstones of Cheval des Andes.
