What is the history of Château Le Pin and who are the owners of the estate?
Château Le Pin is a relatively recent creation on the Bordeaux scale: the estate was acquired in 1979 by Jacques Thienpont, a Belgian négociant from a family deeply rooted in the Gironde vineyard. Where other châteaux claim centuries of history, Château Le Pin has built its legend in just a few decades, thanks to rigorous viticulture, deliberately limited yields, and highly precise parcel-by-parcel winemaking. Today, the estate remains in the hands of the Thienpont family, faithful to its artisanal philosophy that makes this cult wine so unique.
