Château L’If was purchased in 2010 by Jacques Thienpont, who is best known for owning the famous Pomerol estate, Le Pin. The 2017 is a blend of 91% Merlot with 9% Cabernet Franc, offering up delicious scents of black fruits, exotic spices and spring flowers. Medium-bodied, elegant and wonderfully fresh, this is an excellent example of Saint-Émilion and should have excellent cellaring potential.

The 2017 L'If is fabulous. Rich and dense in the glass, the 2017 possesses off-the-charts intensity and vertical explosiveness. Black cherry, chocolate, licorice, smoke and dried flowers infuse the 2017 with tremendous complexity as well as nuance. The tannins are pretty much buried by the sheer depth of the fruit, while bright floral and spice notes punctuate the super-expressive finish.Antonio Galloni1st March 2020

Blended of 91% Merlot with 9% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 L'If is deep garnet-purple in color, featuring beautiful crushed red cherries and black raspberries on the nose with underlying black plums, baking spices and roses notes plus a waft of Sichuan pepper. Medium-bodied with wonderfully elegant tannins and beautiful freshness, it has well-sustained mid-palate fruit and a long, earth-laced finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown27th April 2018
