"The 2020 Le Pin Beausoleil is simply great, just as it was en primeur. Silky, aromatic and nuanced - the Le Pin Beausoleil is simply great. Crushed flowers, mint, red cherry, red plum, mocha and expresso unfold in the glass. Le Pin Beausoleil remains one of the most overlooked wines in all of Bordeaux." (Rated 94/100)
Château Le Pin Beausoleil, “the hidden champion”.
Important critics always recommend their readers to look for wines that reach a level of wines that cost many times more.
Château Le Pin Beausoleil is one such wine. Deep red to black, with elegance, very fine and at the same time well structured thanks to solid but soft tannins. The texture is supple, velvety, almost creamy.
On the palate it offers a complex array of aromas that vary slightly by vintage but contain typical elements of the terroir with dark berries, chocolate, some licorice and pepper and a cool minerality.
A wine that stores well, reaching its peak between 5 and 15 years, depending on the vintage.
This wine has different characteristics than Le Pin Beausoleil, but still has the high quality of the wines of our Chateau.
Petit Soleil is mainly made from Merlot grapes of younger vines from the plots in Rauzan and Saint-Vincent, planted in 2000.
The wine offers a fresh, yet uncomplicated red fruit drinking experience, with a creamy texture and fine-grained, very well-integrated tannins.
This wine fits the profile of the vintage perfectly, with lush aromas of licorice, plum and cassis and a slightly tarry grip that will be accessible early on. -J.M.
The color is ruby red. Fine aromas of smoke and coffee emerge from the bouquet. The opening is framed by cherry brandy and exotic spices. Discreet herbs de Provence and roasted aromas lurk in the aftertaste. The finish is a thicket of ashen fruit. A smooth, racy wine that can be used as a condiment with red meat.
Flowers, sweet, ripe, juicy fruit, polished texture and more ripe fruit on the finish. What more could you want from a wine that sells for under 20 dollars? (Tasting on April 29, 2017)
Pretty aromas of ripe and concentrated black fruits with dried flowers and spicy notes. A full-bodied red wine with strong tannins, well-integrated acidity and a long, elegant finish. Drunk in 2018.
