Château Le Pin

Château Le Pin is a wine estate 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 in 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 costs in excess of €4,300. Bottles of Le Pin have the woody touch emblematic of Pomerols and have exceptional ageing potential. The Le Pin vineyard 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 of Le Pin's 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 just 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 lovers of fine wines 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 wine collectors and investors. The worldwide renown of this exceptional vintage makes Château Le Pin a strategic choice for fine wine investment portfolios, with particularly high prospects of capital gains, especially in exceptional vintages.

How should Château Le Pin wines be stored and enjoyed?

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, it is advisable to decant the wine to aerate its subtle aromas and allow its tannic structure to express itself fully. A Château Le Pin often reaches its peak after 15 to 20 years of cellaring, but some vintages can be enjoyed beyond that, rewarding patient connoisseurs with an unrivalled tasting experience.
