Why We're Buying
Château L'If has made its name on Bordeaux red blends that feature 70 merlot and 30 cabernet franc. The estate manages 14 separate parcels in Saint-Émilion, selecting only the finest fruit during harvest. It is part of the reason why investors can only find 1,000 cases of Château L'If each year. Additionally, the price for this red wine rose 42.2 from 2017 to 2021.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2017 L'If is fabulous. Rich and dense in the glass, the 2017 possesses off-the-charts intensity and vertical explosiveness. Black cherry, chocolate, licorice, smoke and dried flowers infuse the 2017 with tremendous complexity as well as nuance. The tannins are pretty much buried by the sheer depth of the fruit, while bright floral and spice notes punctuate the super-expressive finish.
