Château Le Pin

Château Le Pin is a winery that originated in Belgium in the 19th century, but moved to the Bordeaux region in the 1920s. It is run by Thienpont and is often recommended by wine guides. Today, it is known for its production of Le Pin wine under the Pomerol appellation, which is renowned for its rarity due to its small production size of just 2.2 hectares, producing just 8,000 bottles a year. The 2015 vintage exceeds 4300 euros. Bottles of Le Pin feature the woody touch emblematic of Pomerols and have exceptional ageing potential. Le Pin is also known as one of those "garage wines" that have been in great demand since the 1990s. The vineyard is planted exclusively with Merlot, although Cabernet Franc has been used in the past. All Le Pin production is reserved for red wines.

What makes Château Le Pin so unique among the grands crus?

Château Le Pin is renowned for its very low yields, guaranteeing exceptional concentration of aromas. This vineyard of barely two hectares, located in the Pomerol appellation, produces a rare wine, offering complex notes of black fruit, truffle and sweet spices, with a silky texture and exceptional length on the palate. The gravelly, clayey soil and the meticulous expertise of the Thienpont family contribute to making this a legendary wine prized by grand cru enthusiasts the world over.

Why is Château Le Pin a sought-after investment?

Château Le Pin is produced in extremely limited quantities, often less than 6,000 bottles a year, which increases the rarity and demand for this wine. Each vintage is a unique edition that increases in value over time, attracting collectors and wine investors alike. The worldwide renown of this exceptional cru makes Château Le Pin a strategic choice for fine wine investment portfolios, with particularly high value-added prospects, especially in exceptional vintages.

How to store and enjoy a Château Le Pin wine?

To preserve all the complexity and finesse of a Château Le Pin, we recommend storing it in a cellar with a stable temperature, ideally between 12 and 14°C, and a humidity level of around 70%. When tasting, we recommend decanting the wine to aerate its subtle aromas and allow its tannic structure to fully express itself. A Château Le Pin often reaches its peak after 15 to 20 years of cellaring, but some vintages can be enjoyed beyond this, rewarding patient connoisseurs with an unrivalled tasting experience.
