Bodega Cuvelier Los Andes: The French Cannot Have Enough of Mendoza

The Cuvelier Family from Chateau Leoville-Poyferre (2nd Growth Bordeaux) goes west and sets up shop in Mendoza. Certified French Wine Educator Karl Mann gives us a good rundown of what they are doing:
I had the opportunity the see the winery in Argentina earlier this year during a visit to the Clos de Los Siete Compound. They have one company that manages the vineyards and the irrigation. However, when harvest time arrives, each individual winery then become master of their own arts.To me it is amazing what kind of wines the are producing from vines that are only up to 7 years old. I truly believe that the are amazing wines coming with future vintages.

Michel Rolland is a consultant for the Winery.
