• A. Galloni bewertete (04/2026) L'IF 2025 wie folgt: "The 2025 L'If is a total stunner. It's like no other vintage I have tasted thus far, perhaps because oh the high percentage (25%) of Cabernet Franc. Chalk mint, white pepper, blood orange and jasmine are some of the many notes that gradually open in the glass. A saline edge shapes the brisk mid-palate and brilliant, chiseled finish. Magnificient. The best L'If to date. Tasted two times" - 97-99 Punkte
• The Drink Business bewertete (04/2026) L'IF 2025 wie folgt: "Divine and quite distinctive aromatically, with a little salty twang and a nutty note too wrapped around the dark berry fruits. This is very soft and delicate, the extraction clearly incredibly gentle. I love the graphite, more and more present with aeration. This evolves in the glass, becoming darker in its fruit signature and more floral too. It's incredibly lifted and aerial, staggeringly beautiful and wonderfully gracious. One of the most subtle and beautiful wines of the vintage. There's great charm and personality, and absolutely no sensation of oak (with greater use of foudres now). Fabulous." - 97-99 Punkte
• Jeff Leve bewertete (04/2026) L'IF 2025 wie folgt: "Flowers, black raspberries, mint, cherries, and crushed rocks form the perfume. The palate is creamy, rich, lush, and fruity. The fruits stand out for their textural profile, energy, freshness, and elegance, which is all there in spades. The wine finishes with chocolate-covered cherries, plums, mineral influences and a touch of spice" - 97-99 Punkte
• James Suckling bewertete (04/2026) Château L'IF 2025 wie folgt: "Medium- to full-bodied and chalky but charming, with definition and clarity. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc. Best eve" - 97-98 Punkte
• Decanter bewerteten (04/2026) L'IF 2025 wie folgt: "One of the absolute stars of the vintage in St-Emilion. Smells incredible with such perfumed violet fragrance and clear blackcurrant scents, really so vivid with a vibrant pink colour in the glass. Supple and juicy, clearly refined from the start with super fine tannins – gently grippy – with a lick of liquorice, wet stone and some tobacco and dark chocolate. I like the clarity and clean grip to this. Feels fresh, so St-Emilion and so limestone based with fantastic energy, a touch chalky but not dominant. Alive with enough grip and flesh to be weighty but really not fleshy or chewy, and very cool – cola, blueberries and flint. Delicious and accomplished with everything in harmony and nothing sticking out. This should shape up nicely over ageing with even a few minutes in the glass gaining in chew and texture" - 97 Punkte
