It was created in 1979 by the Thienpont family (owners of nearby Vieux Château Certan), and quickly rose to prominence to vie for the title of most expensive wine in the world. The 100 percent Merlot wine is extremely concentrated and lush; it can often be drunk young but is best with a decade of aging. The Le Pin vineyard is south-facing and sits on well-drained gravel and sand soils which give extremely low yields. There is also a small amount of Cabernet Franc planted. However, this not used in the Le Pin wine, and is gradually being replaced by Merlot. Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel before 14 to 18 months' aging in first one new oak barrel, and then a second. Production is obviously tiny, totaling just 600 to 700 cases per year – compared with 4,000 for Petrus and 20,000 and more for the Médoc First Growths. Le Pin is named after two pine trees at the vineyard. There is no true château on the property, though a new winery was opened in 2011, replacing an old farmhouse basement.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-12T17:31:31-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-11T04:42:06-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini1101","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau Le Pin","Region_Pomerol","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":14340500,"price_min":14340500,"price_max":14340500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42674767855754,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1993 | Chateau Le Pin | Pomerol","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":14340500,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_df847cb9-16e0-44b5-a5b4-ab60561e4ae1.png?v=1673430259"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_df847cb9-16e0-44b5-a5b4-ab60561e4ae1.png?v=1673430259","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1993 | Chateau Le Pin | Pomerol at CaskCartel.com","id":23949892059274,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.485,"height":548,"width":266,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_df847cb9-16e0-44b5-a5b4-ab60561e4ae1.png?v=1673430259"},"aspect_ratio":0.485,"height":548,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_df847cb9-16e0-44b5-a5b4-ab60561e4ae1.png?v=1673430259","width":266}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1993 | Chateau Le Pin | Pomerol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1993 reveals the evolved dark plum\/garnet color of Le Pin, as well as an exotic, kinky, oaky, herb, coffee, jammy, black-cherry-scented nose.
