Buyback Lepin series

Le Pin was acquired by the Thienpont family in 1979, buying a 1-hectare vineyard (later expanded to 2.7 hectares) adjacent to their neighbor Vieux Château Certan, located in Pomerol on Bordeaux's Right Bank, operating as a "garage wine." Made from 100% Merlot, it produces approximately 6,000-7,000 bottles annually and is considered another legendary winery in the Pomerol region besides Petrus. Le Pin's inaugural 1982 vintage, plus vintages such as 1989, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2009, and 2010, are hot items at international auctions.

  2. No Second Wine: Le Pin does not produce a second wine; all bottling is for the grand vin.
  3. Original Wooden Case (OWC): Complete cases of 6 or 12 bottles can increase the value by 8-15%.
  4. 1982 Inaugural Vintage: The first vintage bottled in 1982 after its first production in 1979. This is the vintage that established Le Pin, and its market price is significantly higher than subsequent vintages.
