Chateau Le Pin Wine
Pomerol wines, primarily Merlot blended with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, are considered softer and less tannic than left bank Bordeaux. Pomerol is unique in Bordeaux in that it is the only district never to have been rated in a classification system. Intense aromas of wet earth, leaves and ripe fruit. Though Le Pin has existed for more than a century, the estate was purchased in 1979 by Jacques Thienpont, whose family also owns nearby Vieux Chateau Certan. Chateau Le Pin is a 5-acre estate in Pomerol.
