Among Bordeaux's most confidential and sought-after wines, Le Pin 2019 - Pomerol AOC stands out as a piece of haute couture. Born from a tiny 2.7-hectare estate carefully managed by the Thienpont family, this Pomerol Merlot evokes the elegance of a great classic and the audacity of a bespoke creation. Hand-harvested, vinified with precision and aged in new French oak barrels, it reveals rare aromatic intensity and a sensual texture that instantly enchants the palate. For the enthusiast seeking more than a great wine but an emotion. For the collector looking for a cellaring vintage with a commanding personality. For the gastronomic table seeking a noble, vibrant and memorable signature. The 2019 asserts itself by the brightness of its fruit, its finely edged tannin grain and a persistence that stretches gracefully, like a musical theme that never tires.

Assemblage et vinification

A sovereign expression of Pomerol, this cuvée is made predominantly from Merlot, the plateau’s dominant grape, here picked at perfect ripeness then sorted with jeweller-like exacting care. Vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit and the precision of the aromatic profile. Ageing in new French oak barrels, in high proportions, signs the velvety mouthfeel and a delicately spiced complexity. The terroir, a mosaic of deep clays, gravels and iron-rich sands, provides flesh, energy and a remarkable floral brightness. Production remains intentionally limited, allowing meticulous monitoring of each lot and a blending selection of absolute rigour.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Deep purple with garnet highlights, dense and luminous, suggesting a high-concentration stature and vibrant youth.
• Nose : Aromas of raspberry jam and plum preserve, lifted by wild berries, rose petals and liquorice. Hints of black truffle, blond tobacco and mocha surface, mingling with dark fruit notes, for a complexity that broadens with aeration.
• Palate : A caressing attack, an ample, velvety mid-palate where Merlot's ripeness dialogues with a lively acidity and a finely grained tannic frame. The long, perfumed finish unfurls spicy, floral and chocolate reminiscences with chiselled precision.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 16 and 18°C in large Bordeaux glasses to favour aromatic unfolding and allow the texture to develop. A prior gentle decanting reveals the floral dimension and soft spices with grace. Store your bottles in a cellar, at rest, away from light and temperature fluctuations. The ageing potential of the 2019 vintage is remarkable, offering a drinking window that will open from 2025 and extend over several decades for those willing to wait.
