Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“This is really pure and primary with very clean and bright aromas of crushed grapes. Minerally and floral with brightness and vividness. Just a hint of smoke and meat. Medium-bodied with a tight and poised center palate and a racy finish. Structured in a classic, great Bordeaux way. Needs five or six years to come together and soften, but this is seamless and wonderful. Drink after 2030 and beyond.”
Located on the Pomerol plateau, Le Pin is an estate acquired in 1979 by Jacques Thienpont. The estate stands out for its extremely small size, with a vineyard divided into 7 plots covering only 2 hectares. Planted on soils combining gravel, clay and sand with a marked presence of iron pan (crasse de fer), the vines are exclusively Merlot, which accounts for 100% of the plantings. The production, deliberately very limited, relies on meticulous work. Vinification takes place in small stainless steel vats, allowing careful monitoring of each lot. Ageing then continues in new barrels for 18 months, contributing to the structure and complexity of the wine. Under the Pomerol appellation, Le Pin embodies a singular expression of its terroir, the result of a tiny vineyard and exacting winemaking.
