Tasting note
Chateau Olivier Blanc 2023 is a benchmark Pessac-Leognan white, crisp and energetic with the precision the appellation is known for. Built on a classic blend of roughly 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, it opens with bright citrus and white flower aromas before unfolding into a supple, mouthwatering palate and a vibrant, lingering finish.
More About The Winery
Located 11 kilometres from the centre of Bordeaux in the appellation of Pessac-Leognan, Château Olivier dates back to the Middle Ages. In 1867 Alexandre de Bethmann became mayor of Bordeaux and his family quickly acquired the estate. Today the Bethmann family still own the domaine and entrusts all of the estates management to Laurent Lebrun, who at 38 has experience in France, USA and Australia as an agricultural engineer and oenologist. In 1953 Chateau Olivier received official classification for both its red and white wines and the vineyards of the estate have seen considerable work and investment in the last few years.
