Chateau L’If 2013 – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
 
Produced under the meticulous eye of Jacques Thienpont (the visionary behind Pomerol’s legendary Le Pin), Château L’If is one of Saint-Émilion's most exciting modern success stories. The 2013 vintage is a masterclass in precision and vineyard management, coaxing remarkable texture, lift, and elegant fruit profile out of a challenging Bordeaux growing season. It stands as a beautifully integrated, stylish Right Bank gem that is drinking exceptionally well right now.
 
Critic Scores & Reviews
James Suckling – 94/100
"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."
 
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider – 92/100
"Produced using 100% Merlot, it's easy to see the licorice, black cherry and earthy scents. Medium bodied, soft and approachable, there is a good sense of sweet, ripe, kirsch with freshness from start to finish."
