Cheval des Andes is where Bordeaux heritage meets the high-altitude magic of Mendoza. Founded as a collaboration between Chateau Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes, the estate unites French savoir-faire with Argentine terroir. Aging was carried out in 40% 225-liter Bordeaux barrels, 35% 400-liter barrels and 25% 2,500-liter foudres, with 50% new oak.
A bouquet of bright fruit—raspberry, blueberry and delicate cassis—and complementary bay leaf and mint tones give way to a touch of ash and mild bell pepper. Boasting serious concentration, fine tannins and a slight creaminess, with a structure that is firm but never tight, maintaining weight without losing balance. The finish is long, energetic and full of flavor. 14% ABV
