Le Vieux Pin Wines Added to Michelin Restaurant Lists
The Okanagan’s Le Vieux Pin is celebrating recent and ongoing inclusion on the wine lists of several international Michelin starred restaurants including:
* The Table Kevin Fehling (Germany)
Kevin Fehling is the youngest European 3 Michelin starred chef ever
o 2009 and 2010 Le Vieux Pin Syrah (Cuvee Classique)
* Hakkasan (London)
o 2013 Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvee Violette

* Beach Blanket Babylon (London)
o 2013 Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvee Violette
o 2010 Le Vieux Pin Syrah (Cuvee Classique)
Being included on these lists is no small achievement. These restaurants can stock their cellars with wines from anywhere in the world, regardless of price. Many European culinary meccas have been carrying Le Vieux Pin wines for at least four consecutive vintages.
Le Vieux Pin’s appearance on these exclusive lists is particularly meaningful because it indicates that the winery is recognized for crafting truly exceptional wines by those holding the highest standards. Established only ten years ago, Le Vieux Pin is a relative newcomer, and the winery hails from a lesser-known region compared to many of its peers from winemaking regions that have been famed for centuries.
Of special note, London’s Hakkasan’s wine buyer and well known wine personality, Christine Parkinson, was so impressed by Le Vieux Pin wines that she purchased a case of Syrah Cuvee Violette for her personal cellar.
About Le Vieux Pin:
Named for the solitary majestic old growth pine of their Oliver estate, Le Vieux Pin sits perched amidst the famed vineyards of the Black Sage Bench: Canada’s sole pocket desert, located in the South of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Since releasing their first vintage in 2005, Le Vieux Pin has captured the essence of traditional French winemaking, along with the bold New World character distinct to the region. Considered by the national wine industry to be a leading Syrah producer, the winery uses low input viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking to make exclusive vintages that carry with them a sense of time and place. These fine wines can be savoured nationwide and internationally, at select culinary hot spots, gastronomical institutions and fine wine merchants. The pine tree stands alone.
