Château L’If was purchased in 2010 by Jacques Thienpont and Fiona Morrison, who are best known for owning the famous Pomerol estate, Le Pin. The 2012 is a blend of 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc and is a wonderful example of modern Saint-Émilion. Though excellent to drink now, this should have solid short to medium-term cellaring potential.

Vinous
The 2012 L'If has a finely-tuned, simple but focused bouquet with red cherries, raspberry coulis, marmalade and light minty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannins on the entry, not deep or powerful, and there is some attenuation towards the bitter finish. I would broach this over the next three or four years. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting. Neal Martin27th September 2022
