Today, we’re diving into one of Bordeaux’s most fascinating success
stories: Le Pin. Unlike the grand châteaux with centuries of history, Le Pin
started in 1979 with a small vineyard, a modest winemaking facility, and a
bold vision. In just a decade, it became one of the most sought-after wines
in the world, commanding prices that rival Bordeaux’s First Growths. But
beyond its rarity and prestige, Le Pin helped spark a shift in
winemaking—proving that small, meticulously crafted wines could stand
alongside the most established names. How did this tiny estate challenge
tradition, influence the garagiste movement, and change winemaking in
Bordeaux, Europe, and even in the US? Join us in today’s episode of Our
Pour Decision as we take a closer look at this $5,000 “garage” wine.
