Tasting notes from Andreas Larsson: (95% Merlot on limestone soil in the commune of Rauzan) – More mineral nose, some earthy notes and wild berries, slightly floral, good structure, nice backbone of firm tannins, good length, still a little bit closed on the palate but a good length and potential.

Beurteilung: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase einladende frisch Frucht, zart florales Parfum, etwas Jasmin. Am Gaumen frisch und rotbeerig, leicht prickelnd, jung zu trinken, einfacher Stil.

Region and vineyards

Chateau le Pin Beausoleil is grown on the best plots of the estate, one of 5 hectares near the chateau, in Saint-Vincent de Pertignas, on a beautifully situated, well drained clay-limestone plateau and on a smaller plot of 2 hectares in Merignas, in the middle of a small forest, the soil here also has a wonderful clay-limestone structure.
