Like Pétrus, Le Pin is 100% Merlot. But if Pétrus has adopted a more classic style in recent years, Le Pin remains a hedonistic wine, often exuberant, sometimes even exotic. And unlike Pétrus, Le Pin is much rarer (500 cases per year).
The 2021 vintage is rated 96/100 by J-M Quarin "Beautiful dark red. The nose is initially a little discreet and smells of ripe fruit. Subtle. Mouth full of tactile detail, with just enough fat in the middle to never leave the palate." (February 2024)
