The 2022 Château L'If is an exceptional wine, boasting a luxurious texture of crushed velvet and an expressive vinous character. Its palate delights with rich plum fruit, salty licorice, and spice notes, while lively concentration and precise tannins create a structured and vibrant experience. This is a standout vintage for L'If, potentially the finest yet. Acquired in 2010 by Jean Thienpont of Le Pin, this 20-acre estate in Saint-Emilion has been revitalized through meticulous vineyard practices, resulting in wines of extraordinary intensity and aging potential.

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
98-99 Points
98-99 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: “Gorgeous and very fine tannins with a fine velvet texture and wonderful berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium-bodied with round and balanced tannins with serenity and a crunchy finish. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc.” 04/23
Antonio Galloni
93-95 Points
93-95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2022 L’If is a powerhouse. An exotic mélange of blackberry jam, bittersweet chocolate, licorice, cloves and menthol saturates the palate, all backed up by huge, imposing tannins. This brooding, virile Saint-Émilion packs a huge punch. It will be interesting to see if this softens with élevage. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc." 4/23
