Winemaker Charles #Philipponnat @Ch_Philipponnat is not looking to create the avant-garde; he is about classic #Champagnes with finesse. And he hits his mark. #ClosDesGoisses #winemaking .

The 2021 #ChevaldesAndes is being released this week. With their aim to edge the estate closer to the family values & expression of its Bordeaux namesake, this 2021 is an #impressive step in that direction. #malbec #cabernetsauvignon #argentinawine.
