The 2020 L`If is precocious on the nose, with macerated black cherries, crushed violet, and blueberry emerging with time, all very well-defined and focused. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a little fleshier than its stablemate L`Hêtre. A pinch of white pepper towards the second half and an almost sedate, harmonious pastille-like finish. This should be afforded 4-5 years in bottle. - Neil Martin
Château L`If is a relatively new wine estate, founded in 2010 by Jacques Thienpont, who also owns the renowned Pomerol estate, Le Pin. The property is located in the heart of the Saint-Émilion appellation, on clay and gravel soils, and is planted to 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The 2020 vintage is still in its infancy and will enter its drinking window in 2025. Presented here in a magnum bottle.
