Ms. Laubier, whose family has owned the parcel since 1924 sold the vineyard in 1979 at the Thienpont family for one million francs. Developed by Marcel and Gérard Thienpont (Vieux Chateau Certan) in less than 2 hectares, the wine was produced by a foundation microcuvée a farm. The property was given the name Le Pin by Thienponts due to a solitary pine tree that grows near the winery.
Considered by some as a forerunner of "garage wine", this idea has broad opposition, including the owners, on the merits of the terroir, and the absence of extreme measures to compensate for mediocre grapes.
The vineyards cover two acres of clay soil, with a variety of grapes from 92% Merlot and 8% cabernet franc, the vines have an average age of 32 years. Every year there are on average between 600 and 700 cases, although some years there is no wine.
