Ancestral passion for great wines
Seven generations of a family who turned their love of wine into a legacy spanning oceans — from the châteaux of Bordeaux to the foot of the Andes.
"We blend French know-how with Argentine experience and Mendoza's terroir to craft wines of excellence that proudly stand as the Argentine cousins of Château Léoville-Poyferré."Cuvelier Family · 1804 — present
Cuvelier Family · Uco Valley, Mendoza
Two continents.One single vision.
Our family's story in Argentina begins in 1998. Michel Rolland, then consulting winemaker for Château Léoville-Poyferré — a Cuvelier property for over a century — invited Bertrand and Jean-Guy Cuvelier to invest in his Andean project.
Seduced by Mendoza and by the Clos de los Siete project, they decided to launch Cuvelier Los Andes. The mission: bring the winemaking techniques of Bordeaux's Grands Crus Classés to the Uco Valley, crafting age-worthy wines of excellence in a distinctly Bordeaux style.
From 2009 onward, Baptiste Cuvelier took the helm of the project — the family's second generation in Mendoza — carrying the wines to the world's most demanding markets.

The protagonists of the project
The team behind every bottle of Cuvelier Los Andes combines Bordeaux's winemaking heritage with a deep knowledge of the Uco Valley.
Second generation of the family in Argentina, Baptiste took over the project's leadership in 2009. Trained in the family's Bordeaux winemaking tradition, Baptiste combines an international commercial vision with deep knowledge of the Andean terroir. He is the bridge between the French legacy and the Argentine identity of the winery.
A Mendoza winemaker with extensive experience, Adrián was chosen from the very beginning by the Cuvelier family to technically lead the project. Under his direction, the winery's flagship lines were developed. He combines French rigor with local knowledge of the Uco Valley.
The team of winemakers working alongside Adrián Manchón in crafting each wine. Their expertise in biodynamic viticulture and precision winemaking complements the Bordeaux vision of the project.

From Saint-Julien to the Uco Valley
Château Léoville-Poyferré is one of the most celebrated Grands Crus Classés of Saint-Julien. The Cuvelier family has led this iconic Médoc estate for over a century.
When Michel Rolland proposed exploring the Uco Valley, the family found in the Andes the perfect mirror of Bordeaux terroir: stony soils, extreme thermal amplitude, and the chance to produce exceptional age-worthy wines with an identity of their own.
The result is Malbec-based blends that honor Bordeaux tradition while embracing Andean terroir — wines that are genuinely Argentine and deeply French at once.
