In the mouth
Velvet texture balanced by bright acidity that brings freshness and structure. The mid-palate shows good weight without heaviness; the finish is clean and persistent.
On the nose
Aromas of dark cherry and blackcurrant lead, followed by subtle notes of fine wood and liquorice. The bouquet develops with air, revealing further complexity.
On the eye
Deep, intense garnet with promising purple-tinged edges.
I find this 2022 particularly well-judged. The balance between aromatic richness and tannin finesse is precisely what Saint-Émilion should offer—a wine that complements good food and conversation without demanding attention. It's approachable now, yet will reward cellaring.

CHÂTEAU L'IF
Established across 8 hectares of argilo-calcaire soils on the eastern plateau of Saint-Émilion, Château l'If produces exclusively red wines under the Saint-Émilion appellation. Acquired in 2010 by Jacques Thienpont — owner of the celebrated Le Pin in Pomerol — and Fiona Morrison, this château, formerly known as Haut-Plantey and later La Bouygue, takes its name from the ancient yew tree standing on the property: a quiet nod to Le Pin across the river. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its viticulture, the coherence of its vision since 2010, and the unmistakable Thienpont signature it brings to Saint-Émilion. A red Bordeaux of genuine character, available in our curated selection.
