I met Jacques Thienpont, together with newly-appointed Diana Berrouet Garcia, at Thienpont’s house adjacent to the bijou winery. Apropos the 2021 vintage, Guillaume Thienpont informed me that this was the first vintage whereby, together with Alexandre, they not only tended the vineyard throughout the season, but also oversaw the vinification. Indeed, Jacques Thienpont credited much of the success to his wines to the diligence and hard work of Alexandre and Guillaume. It will be interesting to see how responsibilities will be shared henceforth. “We did not lose anything to frost and mildew; we managed to keep mildew under control using copper sulphate. The summer was cooler, though the first 15 days in September saved the vintage. The conditions in October really benefitted L’If. We had less rain than in the Right Bank around harvest. We just picked a few hours a day and had around nine tanks [of Le Pin] to make the selection and look for maximum ripeness. We made a big selection. I think the vintage suits the gravel soils of Le Pin. Merlot likes this kind of oceanic weather. We just chaptalised a few tanks and did a little bit of saignée, though not on every tank, as the berries were too large. You had to make the wine as you felt it - intuition. It’s a wine to drink at 10 o’clock in the morning as long as you have a second bottle.”
