Lurton was intrigued by the notion of unearthing a connection with the Saint Émilion past: Malbec, decimated by phylloxera in the 1860s from its position as the one of the most important varieties in Saint Emilion and Pomerol, had since been reincarnated in ungrafted form in Argentina, producing some of the world's best Malbecs in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheval Blanc's reconnection with its past was consummated in 1999 as Pierre Lurton visited a select parcel of the most treasured high elevation terroir in Argentina: Terrazas de los Andes' 76-year-old Las Compuertas vineyard, found in Vistalba, Mendoza. In resulting launch vintages of 2001 and 2002, according to Pierre Lurton, Cheval des Andes has proven to \"fit in the spirit of Cheval Blanc,\" refined and elegant in its Bordeaux style, while displaying the characteristic fruit intensity of its Argentine roots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terrazas de Los Andes","offers":[{"title":"1 btl \/ 750ml","offer_id":53494683304252,"sku":null,"price":48.99,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/0158\/6492\/files\/terrazasreservamalbec.jpg?v=1784191087","url":"https:\/\/winetogousa.com\/products\/2023-terrazas-reserva-malbec","provider":"WINETOGOUSA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
