Terrazas des Los Andes
Cheval des Andes
From the large group Moet & Hennessy, the experience of Terrazas De Los Andes was born, the perfect union between French savoir faire and expressiveness of the Chilean terroir .
The vineyards are located in the heart of Mendoza's Luján de Cuyo and in the Uco Valley, where wines that are real Grand Cru are produced, and where Malbec probably reaches the best expressions of the whole Argentine landscape . Altitude above a thousand meters, scarce rainfall and rocky soils are the added values of these wines, which develop all their expressiveness through intense, decisive flavors and aromas .
Thus were born real cult of Chilean enology, such as Mendoza IG Cheval Des Andes , born from a joint venture between the uniqueness of the terroir of Las Compuertas of Terrazas de Los Andes and the classicism of Château Cheval Blanc . This multi-variety wine comes from the attempt to combine Malbec with all the finesse of the Bordeaux blend given by Cabernet Sauvignon , thus bringing a Chilean wine to a level that is difficult to reach and enviable even by the great French wines it is inspired by .
Further great results are Luján de Cuyo IG Malbec Las Compuertas and Valle de Uco IG Selction Malbec , two perfect expressions of pure Argentine Malbec . The first one , coming from the already known Las Compuertas vineyards, is among the most awarded Argentine wines: 97 points received by James Suckling in the 2011 vintage and 91 by Wine Enthusiast and Decanter in 2010 and 2012 respectively . The second, also awarded with James Suckling's 92 points in the 2012 vintage, is a wine of great refinement and elegant tannins, a perfect example of the potential of the Andean terroir .
