The 2018 Olivier has a wonderfully intense perfume of kirsch, Black Forest cake, black raspberries and cassis, with suggestions of red roses, pencil shavings and underbrush
A magnificent property nestled in the heart of lush greenery in the heart of Graves in the south of the Bordeaux region, Château Olivier is a superb reference in the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
With Alexandre Bethman at the helm of the estate and under the impetus of a dynamic and passionate team made up of General Manager Laurent Lebrun and Technical Director Philippe Stoeckle, Château Olivier guarantees consistency and excellence in its precise wines, offering an easily recognisably signature style, characterised by a nice harmony and beautiful minerality.
Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot
The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of ripe, expressive black and red berry layers, supported by finely grained tannin's and well-knit freshness, finishing with great length and purity.
