We like to introduce our Grand Vin as the Argentinean cousin of Château Léoville-Poyferré, 2nd Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien, our family’s most renowned Estate in Bordeaux, France. Grand Vin is an exceptional Bordeaux-style blend, with an impressive tannic structure from our best Malbec, rounded, balanced and completed with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot. The Grand Vin is a barrel selection of the best of the varietals. It raises the level of quality with its already complex perfume, open-knit texture to its creamy-rich dark fruit and nutty oak flavors. This wine is noble and statuesque with aromas that allure of black cherry, foie gras, hints of wild flowers and smoke. Has just enough acidity to maintain its shape and balance. This very full wine finishes with serious tannins that reach the cheeks with great depth of flavor. Composition 70% Malbec, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot.

Cuvelier Los Andes wines are made exclusively from grapes grown within our own vineyard. Our vineyard is very carefully managed. We consider quality and respect for both the environment and the health of our team and of our customer’s top priorities. That is why we employ only organic and biodynamic methods. Our Argentinian team, following a “Bordeaux Grand Cru” vine-growing method, produces high quality grapes with very low yields of 40 to 70 quintals per hectare. Organic material was originally very scarce and made up less than 1% of the soil because of rapid decomposition and mineralization of elements due to the semi-arid conditions of the terrain. But this situation is improving thanks to CLA’s implementation of organic and biodynamic practices in addition to the maintenance of both indigenous and planted groundcover. Until our youngest vines are mature enough to produce grapes with enough complexity to qualify for our top wines, we use these grapes in our Varietals range. With our Cabernet Sauvignon we offer the distinctive flavors and Mendoza’s purest expressions of our emblematic varietal in Bordeaux. We produce this wine using the same process, care and love as per our Colección. Our Cabernet Sauvignon varietal displays deep, ruby-red color. The nose exhibits mature and complex notes of spice red pepper and good minerality. A crisp and fresh cabernet with lovely length and precision giving a stone and natural basil undertone. Nice first mouth, showing soft, intense and varietally precise, with good energy for the flavors of currant, plum, tobacco and earth.

The Uco Valley (or Valle de Uco) is known for having some of the highest elevation vineyards of all of Mendoza, producing wines with elegance and excellent great aging potential.
