CHEVAL DES ANDES
Described as the “Grand Cru of Argentina,” this selection of highly rated Cheval des Andes vintages boasts Argentinian Malbec in
its most elegant incarnation, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and in some years a little Petit Verdot to yield fresh, juicy dark
fruit and mineral-tinged tannins with a finish that goes on and on, some releases ready to enjoy now and all a last chance
opportunity for Malbec lovers and collectors to secure exceptional back vintages as well as the highly allocated current release
at unbeatable prices.
Formed as a collaboration between Cheval Blanc and Argentina’s Terrazas de los Andes in 1999, Cheval des Andes was created to
express the most nuanced and vibrant qualities of Argentinian Malbec from the country’s top terroir crafted with the refined
elegance of a First Growth Bordeaux, sourced from 123 acres of high-altitude estate vineyards planted with old vine Malbec and
Cabernet Sauvignon. Described as “a hedonistic Cheval” by the Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutierrez, the 97 pt. 2012 Cheval des Andes is
an “utterly suave and seamless blend in the style of a ripe Right Bank wine” according to Stephen Tanzer of Vinous, while the 98
pt. 2013 Cheval des Andes is a “powerful wine with terrific ripe tannins” that promise a “slow and eventful evolution,” both ready
to enjoy over the next few years. Crafted with 83% Malbec, James Suckling calls the 97 pt. 2014 Cheval des Andes “a rich and
round-textured red with gentle tannins” boasting “a long plush finish” according to the Wine Spectator’s Kim Marcus with built-in
longevity. The Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutierrez describes the 98 pt. 2018 Cheval des Andes as “the finest Cheval des Andes I’ve ever
tasted” that’s an “impeccably balanced” and “brilliant wine” with over a decade of evolution ahead according to Jeb Dunnuck.
Crafted with a 50-50 blend of Malbec and Cab, the powerful 98 pt. 2019 Cheval des Andes is “a real high point in the progression
of Cheval des Andes” according to Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, continuing Cheval’s “steady ascent towards the summit of the very
best and most sought-after New World reds” according to critic Tim Atkin.
Combining legendary Bordeaux First Growth wine making expertise with the very best terroir in Argentina, these 97 plus pt.
selections from Cheval des Andes attest to the impeccable level of detail from vineyard management to wine making that is built
into its legacy, a must buy for Malbec fans whether putting together a mixed case or selecting a few favorites, available in a
range of formats and original wooden cases for cellaring.
