Château Olivier - Pessac-Léognan
The Château Olivier is a prestigious wine estate located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, in the Graves region, near Bordeaux. Ranked among the 6 Crus Classés of Graves, Château Olivier is distinguished for both its red wines and white wines, renowned for their finesse, balance, and long aging potential.
History and Ownership
Owned by the de Bethmann family for several generations, Château Olivier embodies a long wine-making tradition, where the art of blending and respect for the terroir are at the heart of every vintage. The vineyard spans 55 hectares, offering a unique terroir that gives the estate's wines their exceptional character.
Tasting the Red Wines of Château Olivier
The Château Olivier red is crafted from a traditional blend of noble grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This combination produces wines with great complexity and rich aromatic depth.
- Color: The wine displays a sumptuous deep garnet red color, intense and brilliant.
- Nose: Expressive and refined, it reveals generous aromas of ripe red fruits, black cherries, and blackcurrant, accompanied by subtle notes of spices and forest floor.
- Palate: On the palate, the wine stands out for its fleshiness and smoothness, with well-integrated tannins and a beautiful roundness. The red fruit flavors linger pleasantly, supported by a fresh and balanced framework. The finish is long, elegant, with great complexity.
Food and Wine Pairing
This red wine pairs wonderfully with grilled red meats, roasted leg of lamb, or game dishes with sauce. It also complements aged cheeses very well.
Tasting the White Wines of Château Olivier
The Château Olivier white is as well-regarded as its red counterpart. It is crafted from Sauvignon and Sémillon grapes, two varieties that bring structure, freshness, and elegance to the estate's white wines.
- Color: With a beautiful golden hue and luminous reflections, Château Olivier's white wine captivates from the first glance.
- Nose: The nose is complex and delicate, blending aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruits (peach, pear), and floral notes. There are also subtle hints of vanilla and white flowers.
- Palate: On the palate, this white wine is both lively and structured, with great length. The smoky notes typical of Pessac-Léognan wines enhance the fruity flavors, adding a unique elegance to each sip.
Food and Wine Pairing
Château Olivier white is ideal for pairing with seafood, grilled fish, or dishes made with white poultry. It also pairs well with soft cheeses.
