Château Olivier
Pessac-Léognan Blanc White Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Absolutely loving this 2015 vintage of Bordeaux whites - they're full of life and bright acidity and ample concentration in fruit. This one stands out a bit from some, it is more green and citric, which I like as well. Aromas of ginger, fresh grass cuttings, lemon peel, white hydrangeas all on the nose. The pallet is zingy, but with a light creamy texture as well - golden pear, Granny Smith apple, underripe grapefruit, white pepper, wet slate, and a touch of lemongrass to the finish. Needs several years but will see a great 10 year life ahead of it. Great stuff from one of the oldest in Pessac Leognan - 12th century!

Color : White
Wine estate : Château Olivier
Designation : Pessac-Léognan
Name : Blanc Grand Cru Classé
Country : France
Vivino : 4.5/5
Note : Beautiful Chateau Olivier with 75% Sauvignon, 23% Semillon and 2% Muscadelle. The golden color with some yellow and green chips gives us a very aromatic nose. A freshness with notes of almonds, citrus and white flower. In the mouth, quince appears with some vanilla flavors. A beautiful length, greedy, round, excellent.

Magnifique Château Olivier avec 75% de Sauvignon, 23% Sémillon et 2% Muscadelle. La robe dorée avec quelques éclats jaune et vert nous présente un nez très aromatique. Une fraîcheur avec des notes d’amandes, agrumes et de fleur blanche. En bouche, le coing fait son apparition avec quelques saveurs vanillées. Une belle longueur, gourmand, rond, un délice !
