Tasting Notes

Cheval Des Andes 2022 represents a pinnacle of Argentine winemaking, born from a prestigious collaboration between the iconic Château Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes. Established in 1999, this partnership has consistently delivered wines that embody both the finesse of Bordeaux tradition and the unique character of Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards.

Crafted in the heart of Mendoza, one of South America’s premier wine regions, Cheval Des Andes benefits from exceptional terroir conditions. The vineyards’ elevated altitude ensures a remarkable balance of intense sunlight and cool nights, fostering grapes with vibrant acidity, concentrated flavors, and elegant tannins. This synergy results in a wine that is both fresh and structured, showcasing a graceful complexity that promises excellent ageing potential.

The 2022 vintage continues this legacy of excellence. It offers a refined expression marked by a harmonious blend of dark fruit notes, subtle floral hints, and a mineral undertone reflective of the region’s unique soil composition. The wine’s polished texture and layered profile make it a standout example of Mendoza’s capability to produce world-class Bordeaux-style blends.

Cheval Des Andes 2022 is available through International On Demand’s La Place de Bordeaux Pre-Arrival Offer, with estimated dispatch beginning in April 2026. This ensures that collectors and connoisseurs receive the wine at optimal maturity, ready to reveal its full potential.

Key features include:

  • A Legacy Forged in Altitude and Excellence: A collaboration blending Bordeaux heritage with Mendoza’s distinct terroir.
  • Refined Structure and Freshness: High-altitude vineyards contribute to a wine with vibrant acidity and elegant tannins.
  • Exceptional Ageing Potential: Crafted for longevity, promising evolving complexity over years to come.

Cheval Des Andes 2022 stands as a benchmark for premium Argentine wines, perfectly balancing tradition and innovation. Its sophisticated profile and impeccable pedigree make it an essential addition for those seeking refined, high-end wines that express the best of both Old World finesse and New World vibrancy.

Critic Scores

The 2022 Cheval des Andes is a significant upgrade to Mendoza’s historic regional blends, combining grapes from Las Compuertas (Luján de Cuyo) and Paraje Altamira (Uco Valley). The 2022 vintage allowed for a slower ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon, which take prominence in this blend alongside 30% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Aging was carried out in 40% 225-liter Bordeaux barrels, 35% 400-liter barrels and 25% 2,500-liter foudres, with 50% new oak. A bouquet of bright fruit—raspberry, blueberry and delicate cassis—and complementary bay leaf and mint tones give way to a touch of ash and mild bell pepper. Boasting serious concentration, fine tannins and a slight creaminess, the 2022 has a structure that is firm but never tight, maintaining weight without losing balance. The finish is long, energetic and full of flavor. This is an exceptionally beautiful wine. Drinking Window 2026-2042. - Antonio Galloni

Aromas of dark currants, spices, cloves and a touch of elderberries. The palate is elegant and medium- to full-bodied with polished, precise tannins, firm fruit, a juicy backbone and a solid and flavorful finish. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% malbec from Lujan and Altamira. Drink from 2027. - James Suckling

Earthy, savoury nose full of wet soil, peppercorns and blackcurrants alongside violets, chocolate, cherries and raspberries. Well crafted, such a svelte and streamlined expression with real charm and finesse. There’s power for sure but it’s funnelled into one line from start to finish. I love the brightness and opulence here yet there’s super charm and precision too. Great energy, succulence and vibrancy with natural acidity creating a salivating effect that makes you want to come back for another glass. Expertly made with an accumulation of details that make it so enjoyable. The joint project of Château Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes. Winemaker Gérald Gabillet. - Georgina Hindle

Fragrant, exceptional quality, a standout in the lineup. Concentrated black cherry and damson fruits, nuanced pulses of orange peel and pomegranate, gunsmoke and peony flowers. Gérald Gabillet winemaker, at this joint venture between Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes. Fermented and aged in a mix of 225l barrels, 400l barrels and 2,500l casks, 50% new oak - almost entirely French, with some Austrian, Slovenian and German. - Jane Anson
