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 2016 is a superb follow up to the brilliant 2015 and is made from 100% Merlot. It is a wonderful example of modern Saint-Émilion with excellent purity of fruit, aromatic complexity, precision and finesse.

Vinous
The 2016 L’If offers blackberry, cedar and mint aromas on a nose that needs time to coalesce, but eventually reveals harmony and focus. The new oak is very well assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, and pliant in the mouth, delivering gentle grip toward the creamy-textured finish. This is an extremely impressive wine from l’équipe Le Pin. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin1st August 2020
