About this wine
Le Pin is made almost entirely from Merlot grown on gravel and clay soils near the Pomerol plateau. It is opulent and seductive, with rich dark fruit, spice and a silky texture that can make it attractive quite young. Despite this early appeal, good vintages age very well, developing complexity over twenty years or more.
About Le Pin
Château Le Pin is a tiny Pomerol estate bought in 1979 by the Thienpont family, the Belgian family also behind Vieux Château Certan, and named after a pine tree that stood beside the original house. From a vineyard of only a few hectares, it quickly became one of the most expensive and sought-after wines of Bordeaux.
Le Pin is often regarded as the original Bordeaux garage wine, made in very small volumes with great care. A new winery was completed in 2011. Its scarcity and opulent style make it one of the most prized names for collectors of Pomerol.
