According to Alexandre Thienpont, the '94 will consist of 80% merlot and the rest cabernet franc, the sauvignon having apparently been completely eliminated from the final blend. The '95 will include about 10% cabernet sauvignon and 25% franc. In the later vintage, the merlot went through its malolactic fermentation in barriques. As much as I enjoy Le Pin for its voluptuousness and its Burgundian aromatics, I find VCC more subtle and interesting.
