Chateau Le Pin 2022

Le Pin is a Pomerol red produced exclusively from Merlot grown on a small vineyard of gravel, clay, and sand with iron-rich traces. Fermentation takes place in small stainless-steel vats, followed by maturation in new oak barrels, yielding a concentrated wine from exceptionally limited production.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted duck breast, beef tenderloin, braised lamb, or truffle risotto.

99 Points - James Suckling

Medium-bodied with precise, polished tannins that are silky and tensioned. Notes of iron, black pepper, hazelnut, wood spice and cream develop alongside earthy, citrus and black sesame nuances. The finish is long, focused and vibrant, showing freshness and remarkable balance.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Le Pin offers aromas of sweet cherries, berries, licorice and violets framed by creamy new oak. Full-bodied, layered and exotic, it has a sweet core of ripe fruit, polished tannins and a seamless profile while retaining impressive energy.
