Second wine of Pin Beausoleil, 90% Merlot planted in 2000, supervised by Mr. Derenoncourt. Concentrated red fruits, lively and fleshy, Petit Soleil is the best proof of the success of merlots on the clay-limestone terroir of the Entre-deux-Mers. Amazing value for money!

The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 88/100 “The seductive Petit Soleil 2020, a pulpy Bordeaux whose fruity ex^pression is nicely preserved by its aging in concrete tanks. This juicy, greedy red goes beyond a simple thirst-quencher. Open now."
This is further confirmation of the high quality of the clay-limestone terroirs of the Entre-deux-Mers for those who know how to exploit them and are ready to put the means to do so. Lovingly cared for with the help of Mr Derenoncourt, the 5.8 hectares of Le Pin Beausoleil have been producing top-of-the-range Bordeaux wines for 15 years.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2022): 92/100 "The 2019 Le Pin Beausoleil is all class. Lifted floral accents and silky tannins grace this mid-weight, refined Bordeaux Supérieur. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, blood orange and cinnamon are all laced together in this very pretty and understated Bordeaux Supérieur. The 2019 is an absolute delight and one of the under the radar gems of the vintage.”
