The winemaker

At the heart of Blanchard Perez lies the vision of Andrés Blanchard Perez, a winemaker whose passion for wine and terroir transcends borders.

Andrés Blanchard Perez is a 4th Generation Winemaker from Argentina with Spanish and French heritage.

While living in Spain, he got his Masters degree in Viticulture and Winemaking. He currently makes wines from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Spain, and France.

Across continents, his philosophy remains the same: to create wines that speak of their origin, made with integrity, respect for nature, passion, and a deep connection to the soil.

During his time in Europe, Andrés developed a deep appreciation for cava and inspired by this unique terroir and the legacy of his grandfather Florentino Perez Perez crafted the his first vintage of cava in 2018.

As co-founder of Blanchard y Lurton and Bodega Cuarto Dominio in Argentina, Andres also produce wines from the foothills of the Andes, where high-altitude vineyards give Malbec a unique depth and identity.

Blanchard Perez is more than a cava, it is part of a story that unites heritage, family, and terroirs from both sides of the Atlantic. A story told through every bottle, every glass, and every celebration.
