This wine has an intense and attractive red with violet reflection. It is very complex and of great finesse with spicy notes and ripe plums as well as a certain very attractive minerality. On the palate, expect a very good attack, excellent freshness with juicy acidity. Very good and complex mid-palate. Rating: 92 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Jan 2024)

Cuvelier los Andes
The Cuvelier family were selling wines to the good folk of Northern France in the early years on the nineteenth Century. In 1903, with the purchase of the St Estèphe estate of Château le Crock, they moved into château ownership, crowning their move in 1920 by buying Château Leoville Poyferré. In the 1990s the family spread their wings all the way to Mendoza, initially working with Michel Rolland on his Clos de la Siete project. But, in 1999, they started to plant their own vineyards - Cuvelier los Andes - and began producing wine in 2003. Michel Rolland dutifully oversees winemaking, and spare grapes are still sold off to Clos de la Siete.
