Le Pin 2018 is one of the most legendary and exclusive wines of Pomerol. Produced from the Thienpont family’s tiny vineyard, this vintage expresses with remarkable intensity the richness and precision that have made the estate so renowned.

The nose is deep, complex and particularly alluring, revealing aromas of ripe black fruit, plum, violet, truffle, sweet spices and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is rich, dense and velvety, supported by exceptionally fine tannins and beautiful freshness. Its power is perfectly balanced by a silky texture and remarkable harmony.

The finish is very long, deep and persistent, with great aromatic complexity and superb elegance.

Thanks to its concentration, balance and structure, Le Pin 2018 offers exceptional ageing potential and will continue to gain in depth and complexity over several decades.

An exceptional, rare and highly sought-after Pomerol, where power, richness, freshness and elegance come together with remarkable precision.

The Estate – Le Pin

Located in the heart of Pomerol, Château Le Pin is one of Bordeaux’s most legendary and exclusive estates. Its modern history began in 1979, when Jacques Thienpont, a Belgian wine merchant from a renowned winemaking family, acquired a small property of barely one hectare.

The estate now covers approximately 2.7 hectares, situated on an exceptional Pomerol terroir composed notably of gravel and iron-rich clay. This unique terroir, combined with very low yields, produces grapes of remarkable concentration, freshness and finesse.

The vineyard is planted predominantly with Merlot, complemented by a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. Each plot is meticulously tended, while the winemaking is carried out with the utmost care to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir.

Over just a few decades, Le Pin has established itself as one of the world’s most sought-after great wines. Its extremely limited production makes it exceptionally rare and highly prized by collectors and serious Bordeaux enthusiasts.

An extraordinary estate that has become a true icon of Pomerol, where the rarity of the terroir, the precision of the craftsmanship and the vision of the Thienpont family give rise to wines of exceptional depth, elegance and longevity.
