Le Pin stands for the Pine Tree at the Vineyard
Standing on the rooftop of the newly built Le Pin, the young Monsieur Thienpont pointed to the two pine trees in front of the house, still standing tall as the symbol of the vineyard after the renovation.
We walked around the rooftop, probably less than 200 sq ft, and counted the rows of vines that are part of Le Pin. It is indeed a small vineyard even in St Emilion, only 2 hectares producing 5,000 bottles a year. There are 7 plots of fields that will go through the fermentation process in 7 separate stainless steel vats after harvest.
