Welcome to Club Jean Pineau
A story now signed with your name
Four years after its founding in 1858, Marqués de Riscal began a period of transformation with the arrival of master winemaker Jean Pineau, who introduced Bordeaux winemaking methods to the region.
The club was created as a tribute to Pineau, who became the winery’s first master winemaker and is an essential figure in the history of wine in Rioja. It offers an exceptional opportunity to become part of our winery’s history by purchasing the contents of a barrel of Club Jean Pineau, Reserva.
The Club Jean Pineau is more than a limited edition. It is your signature in our history.

Club Jean Pineau, Reserva
A Reserva made exclusively from estate-owned vineyards in the northern part of Elciego, in Rioja Alavesa, where conditions are especially favourable for preserving the grapes’ natural acidity, freshness and fruit expression.
Cepas viejas de Tempranillo plantadas mayoritariamente antes de 1970 y vendimiadas a mano. Una elaboración donde destaca una mayor presencia de la variedad Graciano, que confiere al vino un carácter más especiado, fresco y singular. 24 meses de crianza en barrica de roble francés y americano y al menos, 15 meses de afinamiento en botella, preservan el carácter afrutado de Club Jean Pineau, Reserva.
A tribute to Jean Pineau, Marqués de Riscal’s first master winemaker
Through this club, we pay tribute to a key figure in the history of our winery and modern Rioja.
The connection between Jean Pineau and Marqués de Riscal began with the Médoc Alavés project. In 1862, winery founder Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga hired him to introduce Bordeaux winemaking methods and improve the quality of the wines. Among his innovations, the introduction of oak barrels for ageing was one of the most significant. When the project ended, Jean Pineau joined our winery, continuing to bring his savoir-faire to our wines.
