Cuvelier Los Andes (Argentina) with Baptiste Cuvelier at West London Wine School

We warmly welcome Baptiste Cuvelier to our school for a premium tasting of exquisite Mendoza wine. From Malbec to Syrah to Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvelier Los Andes have created complex, powerful and down-right tasty wines.

The origins of the Cuvelier family’s wine exploits begin in Bordeaux in the early twentieth century with the purchase of Château le Crock in St. Estèphe in 1903. But, for many, they are best known for their ownership of Château Leoville Poyferré, which they bought in 1920. In the 1990s, the family spread their wings as they turned their attention to Mendoza in Argentina, working first with Michel Rolland on his Clos de la Siete project. But, by 1999, they had begun to plant their own vineyards – Cuvelier los Andes – and produced their first wine under this estate 2003. Michel Rolland continues to dutifully oversee the winemaking. Spare grapes are usually still sold off to Clos de la Siete.
