In a few words ...
Classified as a white and red wine, Château Olivier is owned by the Bethmann family. It made major investments at the turn of the 1990s and 2000s, and relies on the expertise of its director Laurent Brun. Of the 50 hectares of vines, 38 produce red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (45% each), complemented by Cabernet Franc (10%). The 12 hectares of white are planted with Semillon (55%), Sauvignon (40%) and Muscadelle (5%). J. Suckling : 92-93/100
A real nugget!
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
