Description

Le Pin is one of the newer names of Bordeaux having only made its debut in 1979. Owned and operated by the Thienpont family (of Vieux Château Certan), production is truly miniscule by Bordeaux standards and it is one of the most highly sought-after wines in the world. Writing for The Wine Advocate, Neal Martin described the 1994 as “a Pomerol undiminished by time and a quite brilliant wine in the context of the vintage” when tasted blind in 2016 and gave it a drinking window up to 2030.

About this wine

The 2004 vintage of Château Le Pin represents a superb example of Pomerol Merlot, showcasing depth, complexity, and the estate's signature elegance despite a challenging growing season. Notes of ripe black fruits, truffles, and violets, with a velvety texture and a long, complex finish.

Le Pin

The Le Pin collection, from the eponymous winery, showcases a singular focus on crafting one of Bordeaux's most prestigious and rare wines. Produced in limited quantities, each vintage of Le Pin is expressive of the unique terroir of the Pomerol appellation.
