“Cheval des Andes continues its steady ascent towards the summit of the very best and most sought-after New World reds"

Slechts een paar Argentijnse Bordeauxblends komen in de buurt van bij de onnavolgbare wijnen uit de Bordeaux. Eén van deze wijnen steekt hier met kop en schouders bovenuit. Cheval des Andes is het resultaat van de innigesamenwerking tussen het prestigieuze Château Cheval Blanc (Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé) en het Argentijnse Terrazas de Los Andes. Dit is de allereerste vintage die gemaakt is door Gerald Gabillet (oud wijnmaker van Château Angélus) en de wijnontvangt gelijk de hoogste scores voor een release uit de Nieuwe Wereld ooit (99/100 punten - Tim Atkin en 98/100 punten - Robert Parker Wine Advocate)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2019 Cheval des Andes had a more reductive vinification and élevage, making the wine a bit shy and in needof 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 backto the initial character of the wine that 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 implication 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. It matured in 225- and 400-liter oak barrels and in oak vats. They used more barrels and vats from Stockinger, which they like and rotate; the wine spends an average of 13 to 14 months in oak, but some lots get 11 monthsand others get 16. 2019 was a mild vintage, cooler than 2017 and warmer than 2018, with rain at the right time,which helped to avoid hydric stress, and without extremes (which they had in 2020 with three weeks of extremeheat). The wine is young and tender and a bit oaky, which Gerald attributed to the reductiveness; it's ripe withoutexcess, with around 14.2% alcohol, mellow acidity and velvety tannins. There's more Cabernet here, so the aromatic expression can be something between 2017 and 2018, but Cabernet marks the palate a lot and makesthe wine more age-worthy, as it provides the structure and length that the Malbec lacks. So, the wine might be less accessible when young and should develop slowly in bottle. It's tasty and supple and has the ingredients and the balance for what they are aiming for. In the following vintages, they follow this path, and Gabillet feels thathaving more precision allows the wines to reflect the differences between vintages better. They keep producing around 100,000 bottles. It was bottled in late January 2021. The way they want to describe the wine is the Argentinean expression of Cheval Blanc. And I can only agree.

Cheval des Andes continues its steady ascent towards the summit of the very best and most sought-after New World reds. I tasted this wine over the space of a day and was very close to giving it 100 points. Made from anequal blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines fruit from Las Compuertas and Paraje Altamira tobrilliant effect. Aged in 50% new barrels and foudres, it’s effortlessly complex and detailed, with refined tannins, graphite and cut grass aromas, cassis and bramble flavours and remarkable palate length.
