Note di degustazione
Translucent purple in the glass, the 2024 L’If is expressive – with perfumed nose full of violets and high-toned bright fruit. It’s elegant, vibrant and pure on the palate – with a chalky mineral undercurrent and delicate, powdered tannins. Zingy acidity brings energy, while there’s a saline freshness to the long, lifted finish. Supple and fine, L’If has been going from strength to strength – and the 2024 yet again proves the quality of this site. 13% alcohol, 3.37pH. Blend: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc

Quite an aromatic wine with appetizing spiciness, white pepper, hibiscus and red berries. Juicy and bright, with a medium body, fine-etched chalky tannins and a long, bright finish. Very pure fruit with excellent texture and mid-palate roundness. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc.
The 2024 Château L'If comes from vines located just beside Troplong Mondot and is based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, with the Merlot harvested between October 4 and 6 and the Cabernet Franc picked on October 8. This deeper-hued beauty offers terrific aromatics of ripe black cherries, darker currants, leafy herbs, and a beautiful sense of minerality. It's nicely textured, medium-bodied, has a ripe, layered, round mouthfeel, and sweet tannins. It's a beautiful wine in the vintage that's well worth your time and money. The alcohol is a natural 13% with a pH of 3.37, and it will spend 12-16 months in 50% new barrels, with the balance in once-used oak.
Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little shaking to wake up notes of black raspberries & kirsch, followed by hints of dusty soil, dried herbs, and crushed rocks. The light to medium-bodied palate is lively and fresh with zippy red berry flavors and fine-grained tannins, finishing with a fruity lift.
