Wine Producers

Château Le Pin is situated on the Bordeaux Right-Bank in the appellation of Pomerol and is named for the single pine tree that grows near the winery. Considered one of the most sought-after and expensive wines in the world, Le Pin commands some of the most consistently high prices on auction worldwide, bolstered by equally high critic ratings. Made from 100% Merlot, the grapes are sourced from only 2.7 hectares of vineyard that surrounds the winery and only 600-700 cases of wine are produced annually.
The original single hectare property was established in the 1920’s and bought by Jacques Thienpont in 1979 for a million francs. The vineyards were further developed by Thienpont, whose family own the neighbouring Vieux Château Certan, and the wine was initially made in tiny quantities in a farmhouse basement. Today the wine is made in a state-of-the-art winery upgraded in 2011, but the quantities remain tiny, as the demand for this exquisite wine grows.
