Vivino | Vivino 4.1

The nose is very expressive, with ripe red fruit aromas as well as spicy nuances. The middle palate is velvety and full-bodied with rich, smooth tannin. This is a wine of substance, with a great balance between ripe aromatics, finesse, elegance… and a long aftertaste.

Exceptional wines in Pessac Léognan: The Grands Crus of Château Olivier

The 60 hectares of Château Olivier stand in primarily limestone-clay soils with remarkable quality and potential for winemaking.
This geological diversity, combined with a very specific microclimate, allows us to create fine wines for laying down that offer naturally complex aromas and nuances. Whether red grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot) or white varieties (Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon), all are characterised by this precise, clean, authentic style.
