Cheval des Andes 2020 – The Pinnacle of Argentine Winemaking

Cheval des Andes is an exclusive wine that blends the rich tradition of Argentine Malbec with the sophistication of a great Bordeaux. Sourced from the prestigious vineyards of Las Compuertas and La Consulta in Mendoza, this blend of 49% Malbec, 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Petit Verdot has been meticulously aged for 13 months in French oak barrels and foudres, with 50% of the barrels being new. Crafted by renowned winemakers Pierre-Olivier Clouet and Gérald Gabillet, it achieves an exceptional balance and complexity.

With a deep, brilliant red color, the nose reveals a complex array of aromas, highlighting blackberries, red currants, and blueberries, intertwined with subtle notes of black pepper, lavender, and cocoa. On the palate, it boasts silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant finish, with lingering hints of dark fruits and sweet spices.

This wine reaches its full potential when paired with grilled tomahawk steak with red wine reduction, duck breast with fig and pink pepper sauce, black truffle risotto with aged Parmesan, braised short ribs with sweet potato purée and rosemary, and aged cheeses like Stilton or Pecorino Toscano.

A French-style Grand Cru, crafted in Argentina, redefining the elegance and potential of Mendoza wines. Special Vintage 2020 – Set of 6 Bottles.
