The Seigniory of Olivier dates back to the 12th century. The Château is surrounded by moats and an immense forest. Deep color with aromas of fruit and sweet floral spices, elegant nose. On the palate strawberry and blackberry flavors with pepper and tangy citrus notes. Tight tannins with cedar, well balanced with acidity, lingering ending with mineral character. Give this some time in the bottle. Nice Value!

In a blind tasting I thought this was gruner. The grassy notes were mild enough to make me think “arugula” and thus I went gruner but no! This is just as less obnoxiously grassy savvy b. Probably the semillon mitigating that. The take home message is I need to sample more Bordeaux Blanc because this is fantastic
