The land that Le Pin sits on was owned by the Loubie family for over five decades, during which time the wine was sold as generic Pomerol. In 1979, Jacques Thienpont paid one million francs (around €153,000) for the vineyard, then 1.6 hectares. Wine is in the Thienpont blood, with the family having worked in wine since the 1840s, and one strand of the family owning Vieux Château Certan (now under Jacques’s cousin, Alexandre Thienpont).
