At its best, the wine is concentrated with ripe fruit, the opulent, almost overripe kirsch, black cherry, plum, coconut, and citrus scents are unique to the property. The decadent, glycerin-filled mouthfeel is a treat that in the best vintages, must be tasted to be believed. The minuscule 2.7-hectare vineyard of Le Pin is planted to almost 100% Merlot. In truth, it is 100% Merlot, but there are a few Cabernet Franc vines co-planted in the vineyard. While some parcels contain Cabernet Franc, that grape variety is not blended into Le Pin. The terroir of Le Pin is clay with gravel and sand with deposits of iron oxide in the soil. The gravel is deep. In some parts of the vineyard, the gravel is close to 3 meters thick. The vineyard is ideally placed with good elevation on the Pomerol plateau. The bottle will be sealed with plastic film to ensure that the label will not get damage, then it will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a suitable cardboard box.
