The property was purchased by Jacques Thienpont in 2010. Previously, it had been known as Château La Bouygue. The name was changed to echo that of the new owner's famous Pomerol estate. Le Pin is named after a pine tree on the property, while L'If is the French word for a yew tree, which now features prominently on the label. However, presumably to help with pronunciation, the 2010 was labelled Leaf (omitting the yew image) for the US market.\u0026amp;nbsp;Thienpoint's acquisition included around 5 hectares (12.4 acres) of vines. Other parcels have been added to take the holdings to 8 ha (19.8 acres). The main part of the vineyard is situated to the east of Saint-Émilion village, not far from Château-Troplong Mondot, with the remainder around one mile away. Plantings are around 70 percent Merlot and 30 percent Cabernet Franc. A small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon has now been ripped out. The vines are managed in 14 different parcels, some of which have recently been left fallow during a period of replanting. This restricted output of most of the vintages between 2010 and 2020 to no more than 1000 cases.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-14T16:35:50-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-08T17:19:23-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau L'if","Region_Bordeaux","RK070324","Source_Hedonism0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":80100,"price_min":80100,"price_max":80100,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44455804665994,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2021 | L'If | Saint-Emilion","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":80100,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/22_a421596e-28e4-4fde-bf0f-c30243448014.png?v=1709936413"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/22_a421596e-28e4-4fde-bf0f-c30243448014.png?v=1709936413","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2021 | L'If | Saint-Emilion at CaskCartel.com","id":26426331955338,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.302,"height":361,"width":109,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/22_a421596e-28e4-4fde-bf0f-c30243448014.png?v=1709936413"},"aspect_ratio":0.302,"height":361,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/22_a421596e-28e4-4fde-bf0f-c30243448014.png?v=1709936413","width":109}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2021 | L'If | Saint-Emilion\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precise and fresh nose reveals aromas of autumn fruit, liquorice, sweet berries, and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e L'If\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Bordeaux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precise and fresh nose reveals aromas of autumn fruit, liquorice, sweet berries, and spice.
