Château L’If, owned by Jacques Thienpont, who also owns the esteemed Pomerol property Le Pin, was acquired in 2010. Situated on the St-Emilion plateau, facing the village and near Troplong-Mondot, the 8-hectare vineyard underwent meticulous mapping and partial replanting to reduce Cabernet planting. Each parcel is carefully managed separately in both vineyard and winery. With a limited annual production, this wine, backed by a respected figure like Jacques Thienpont, is expected to follow in the footsteps of its renowned Pomerol sibling and become a highly sought-after and anticipated vintage.
