About the Cheval des Andes 2019
Cheval des Andes is a prestigious Argentine red blend created from the partnership between Château Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes, combining Bordeaux winemaking heritage with Mendoza’s exceptional terroir. This elegant wine showcases layers of blackberry, cassis, violet, cedar, graphite, and spice, supported by refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a remarkably long finish.
Food Pairing: Wagyu ribeye, dry-aged steak, roasted lamb, venison, braised short ribs, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses.
98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Cheval des Andes has a more reductive vinification and élevage, making the wine a bit shy and in need of time to open up, as one of their objectives was to make it more age-worthy. Another objective is to get to a 50/50 blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, which they achieved in this vintage for the first time, going back to the initial character of the wine, which was the idea of Argentinean winemaker Roberto de la Mota; so, they are closing the circle and going back to the initial idea, with more suggestions from the Cheval Blanc team. This is the first vintage fully under the charge of the new French winemaker, Gerald Gabillet, who fermented by plot, isolating some specific parts of the vineyard, like the borders where you tend to get higher yields because of the irrigation. Best after 2023.
97 Points - James Suckling
A refined but spicy Cheval, showing charcoal, blueberries, wild herbs, lavender and hints of bacon and cedar. Medium to full body with extremely fine tannins that get dialed into the fruit with violet, spices and sweet blue fruit at the end. Long and subtle. Drink or hold.
93 Points - Wine Spectator
A bold and structured red, with aromas of smoke and graphite leading to rich, concentrated tiers of blackberry, cassis and plum. Beneath the muscle is ample fresh acidity, carrying abundant violet and spice nuances toward the lengthy finish, which reveals fine tannins. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.
