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. 0:00 Introduction 03:12 Welcome Stacey! 04:46 Map Video 07:07 Opening the bottle 07:37 Tasting 14:33 Conclusions
