👃 Tasting Notes & Experience

The estate defines Cheval des Andes by freshness, elegance, complexity and balance rather than sheer power. Because the approved producer material reviewed does not expose a same-vintage 2018 technical sheet with exact composition and élevage, this page keeps the vintage description deliberately conservative.

• A genuine meeting point between Mendoza fruit and Château Cheval Blanc’s winemaking philosophy
• Malbec remains central to the estate’s identity while Bordeaux varieties bring structure and restraint
• Built around elegance and cellaring potential rather than simple weight
