Clos de los Siete

What Clos de los Siete does

Clos de los Siete is a privately held wine estate operating 850 hectares (2,100 acres) of contiguous vineyard ("Clos") at 1,100–1,200 meters altitude in the Uco Valley near Mendoza, Argentina. The estate produces a single flagship Malbec-based Bordeaux blend (typically 45–58% Malbec, blended with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc), aged in French oak casks, under the supervision of Pomerol winemaker Michel Rolland. Wine production follows traditional Bordeaux-inspired viticulture — double Guyot pruning, espalier training, manual harvesting, gravity-fed winery, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation, and drip irrigation — applied to a single-block estate designed as a large-scale emblem of French-Argentine winemaking collaboration.

The project is structured as a joint venture among four partner bodegas (Monteviejo, Cuvelier Los Andes, DiamAndes, and Bodega Rolland), each of which contributes a portion of its production to the shared Clos de los Siete blend while also marketing its own independent wine range. Eighteen vintages have been released between 2003 and 2021, and the estate distributes internationally to approximately 50 countries via importer/wholesale networks (with at least one disclosed US partnership via Dourthe USA Inc.), while also operating estate-based wine tourism (tastings and tours at Tunuyán).

Revenue is generated primarily through wholesale wine distribution, supplemented by a smaller direct-to-consumer stream from on-site visits and tastings. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; technical sheets per vintage are downloadable as PDFs. There are no disclosed enterprise customer accounts, and the firm serves a horizontal segment of premium wine consumers and collectors. The company is privately held by the four founding Bordeaux families, with no evidence of institutional capital, M&A activity, or public listing.

Quantifiable outcome

• Robert Parker review: 'Clos de Los Siete pourrait être décrit comme un assemblage d'assemblages. Il possède de fortes notes épicées (poivre noir, noix de muscade et clou de girofle) ainsi que des notes de fumée, de foin, de paille séchée, de fruits noirs et rouges. La bouche est moyennement corsée, avec des tanins élégants, une bonne acidité et une bonne longueur.'
