Common Questions
Why is Le Pin so rare?
The vineyard is very small (around 2.7 hectares) and yields are kept low, resulting in tiny production.
Do you buy Trilogie?

How does it compare to Petrus?

Do you buy other Thienpont wines?

Is 1982 Le Pin valuable?
Yes, 1982 is a legendary vintage that helped put Le Pin on the map.
