Piedra Negra is a pioneering winery founded by French winemaker François Lurton in 1996, located in the heart of Los Chacayes, in Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Surrounded by the Andes and planted at over 1,100 meters above sea level, the estate is known for its organic vineyards, stony soils, and strong focus on terroir expression. With varieties like Malbec, Côt, Cabernet Franc, and Pinot Gris, the winery crafts elegant, high-altitude wines that combine French heritage with Argentine character.
Visitors to Piedra Negra can enjoy guided tastings and explore a cellar designed to work with gravity flow winemaking, preserving purity and structure. Signature labels such as L’Esprit de Chacayes and Gran Lurton reflect the winery’s dedication to sustainability, innovation, and crafting wines that speak of place. François Lurton’s vision has made Piedra Negra a reference point in the region for quality, authenticity, and a deep respect for the land.
