98-Pt "Cheval Blanc of the Andes"
2020 Cheval des Andes Mendoza
In 1999, the team behind Château Cheval Blanc—St. Émilion’s legendary Premier Grand Cru Classé A—set out to create a New World masterpiece. They traveled to Mendoza, seeking out historic, high-altitude terroir. The result is Cheval des Andes: a wine that perfectly bridges the aristocratic, finely boned structure of First Growth Bordeaux with the sheer, unadulterated power of Argentina.

Aroma
Aromas of crushed blackberries, wild blueberry, violet, and graphite, layered with subtle cigar box and black tea.
Palate
Full-bodied, seamless, and intensely focused. Ultra-fine, powdery tannins wrap around a deep core of dark fruit, driving toward a long, mineral-laced finish.

In Detail
98 Pts. 90-year-old vines. The lowest US price.
In 1999, the team behind Château Cheval Blanc—St. Émilion’s legendary Premier Grand Cru Classé A—set out to create a New World masterpiece. They traveled to Mendoza, seeking out historic, high-altitude terroir. The result is Cheval des Andes: a wine that perfectly bridges the aristocratic, finely boned structure of First Growth Bordeaux with the sheer, unadulterated power of Argentina.
The 2020 vintage is a masterclass in this transatlantic style. Blending ungrafted Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted as far back as 1929 in the elite Las Compuertas terroir, the wine achieved a massive 98-point score. Critics praised its jaw-dropping precision, with James Suckling calling out its "seamless" texture, ultra-fine tannins, and intense depth. It does not drink like a standard Mendoza Malbec; it drinks like a Bordeaux legend.
While major national retailers routinely price the 2020 Cheval des Andes at $100 or more, we are offering this 98-point release at the absolute lowest price in the United States. Landing Premier Grand Cru pedigree from 90-year-old vines at this price is a massive win for the cellar. Secure your allocation immediately before this inventory is wiped clean.
