Cheval des Andes vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina, with rows of grapevines stretching toward the mountains.

Cheval des Andes

Cheval des Andes represents the pinnacle of Argentinian winemaking—a rare collaboration between Château Cheval Blanc of Bordeaux and Mendoza’s Terrazas de los Andes. Conceived by Pierre Lurton and winemaker Roberto de la Mota, the estate was designed to create a wine of Grand Cru calibre in the heart of Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo. Since its inaugural 1999 vintage, Cheval des Andes has earned international acclaim, marrying French precision with the distinctive character of Argentinian terroir.

Terroir that inspires excellence

Perched up to 1,070 metres above sea level, the vineyard enjoys a cool, elevated microclimate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The estate’s historic ungrafted Malbec vines, some dating back to 1929, are complemented by carefully chosen Cabernet Sauvignon and a hint of Petit Verdot, creating wines of extraordinary structure, depth, and elegance. Every bottle reflects the unique interplay of altitude, climate, and meticulous viticulture.

Where Bordeaux expertise meets Argentinian tradition

Pierre Lurton’s vision celebrated Malbec’s historical significance in Saint-Émilion while embracing its modern eminence in Argentina. Cheval des Andes stands as a testament to this harmonious union of two worlds: Bordeaux sophistication and Mendoza vitality. Distributed internationally through La Place de Bordeaux since 2019, the wines—beginning with the 2016 vintage—offer collectors an opportunity to experience a truly exceptional, world-class expression of Malbec.
