Cheval des Andes, the Grand Cru of the Andes, celebrates the launch of its latest release at Chateau Cheval Blanc!

On June 20th (Tue), 77 guests among international wine merchants, sommeliers and media were invited at Château Cheval Blanc to discover Cheval des Andes, the Grand Cru of the Andes, and to taste its latest release: the 2013 vintage.

Hosted by Pierre Lurton, President of Château Cheval Blanc, and Lorenzo Pasquini, Technical Manager & Winemaker of Cheval des Andes, guests were taken to a cellar tour and immersed in the Argentinian culture and landscapes while being at the very heart of Château Cheval Blanc, in Saint Emilion.

The prized vineyard of Las Compuertas, home of Cheval des Andes in Mendoza, was reflected in staggered mirrors, installed in Château Cheval Blanc cellars and vineyard’s surroundings, symbolically illustrating the fusion of the two cultures from which Cheval des Andes was born.

Lorenzo Pasquini described the Cheval des Andes 2013 as “a wine reflecting the generosity coming from the warm climate of the vintage while revealing the elegance, the freshness and the finesse that has been characterizing the style of Cheval des Andes in the past vintages.”.

A Place to Express Your Authentic Self: MHD’s participation in Tokyo Pride 2025

MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo participated in Tokyo Pride 2025, one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in Asia, which celebrated its 14th edition this year. Held during pride month, June 7th and 8th, the Pride Festival welcomed approximately 273,000 attendees over two days, each coming together to celebrate and support the rights and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. The event also saw companies, organizations, and individuals communicate their efforts toward diversity and inclusion from their respective standpoints.

This year marked a significant evolution for the event, with a name change from Tokyo Rainbow Pride to Tokyo Pride. The change reflects a broader scope, shifting the focus beyond LGBTQ+ rights to address various intersecting human rights issues, including gender, race, and disability. The central theme for the event, “Same Life, Same Rights”, delivers a strong message affirming that all lives deserve equal rights, free from discrimination and prejudice. Tokyo Pride 2025 will continue throughout pride month with a range of events, with the initiatives that aim to raise awareness of the complex challenges faces by the LGBTQ+ community and foster open dialogue around inclusion and equity.

As a platinum sponsor, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Japan proudly supported the event. On June 8th, around 250 employees from various maisons, including MHD, marched in the Pride Parade, which was filled with an atmosphere of warmth, solidarity, and celebration in the Shibuya and Harajuku areas. As part of MHD’s sustainability manifesto, "Living Soils, Living Together," our participation in Tokyo Pride represents one aspect of our ongoing commitment to “engaging with society”. This was also an opportunity to re-visualize DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) initiatives both internally and externally, and to show a commitment to supporting and walking together with the community.

MHD, together with the LVMH Group, will continue to promote DE&I initiatives and strive to ensure that our corporate efforts spark new findings and learning opportunities for each and every employee.
