Cuvelier Los Andes Grand Vin 2009 - Blend
Grand Vin is our “First
Label” wine. 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. Aged 100% in French oak barrels during 18
months. An intense and memorable wine experience. Perfect for dinner party or
for special occasion. Alcohol 16% vol.
