Merchant's description

Le Pin 2009 is an exemplar of the Bordeaux Right Bank, emerging from a single-hectare estate owned by the Thienpont family, renowned for its dedication to precision viticulture. This vintage displays a complex structure with notable concentration. Layers of dark fruit and hints of earthiness articulate the wine`s character, while the firm, yet refined tannins provide a solid backbone. This vintage exemplifies the estate`s commitment to crafting wines with remarkable balance and longevity.
