Château Le Pin

Producer description of "Château Le Pin"

The winery is located in the commune of Pomerol in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). The name is derived from a very old pine tree close to the vineyard. On the bottle label, only the name "Le Pin" is mentioned without the château, except in the footer text "Mis en bouteille au château" (bottled in a château). However, the simple buildings would not deserve the name "château" either. It was owned by the Laubie family from 1924 to 1979, when it was acquired by the Belgian Thienpont family, who also own the neighbouring Vieux Château Certan. From the 1981 vintage onwards, the aim was to achieve the highest quality (and price) of Château Pétrus. The winery is one of the large clientele of the well-known oenologist Michel Rolland (*1947).
