Lots of bark, cigar tobacco, stone, volcanic salt and black cherry. Dry persimmon. Full bodied with a seductive velvety texture. Minerally finish. Stylish. Drink or hold.

About the producer

L-If
Château L`If

Known for his tiny, iconic Pomerol estate Le Pin, Jacques Thienpont purchased this estate in Saint-Emilion in 2010. Giving it the name L’If (the yew tree), the property – positioned close to Troplong Mondot – is rapidly becoming as sought-after as its sibling.
