Tasting Notes: Deep garnet-purple colored, the Chateau Olivier has a wonderfully intense perfume of kirsch, Black Forest cake, black raspberries, and cassis, with suggestions of red roses, pencil shavings, and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of ripe, expressive black and red berry layers, supported by finely grained tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with great length and purity

The Domain: Located in the heart of a vast wooded estate, Château Olivier, an ancient manor, reveals itself amidst its woods like an oasis. The estate has been owned by the Bethmann family since the 19th century. Château Olivier’s wine has been classified since 1953, both red and white. Spanning 60 hectares of gravelly soil resting on a clay-limestone base, the estate cultivates five different grape varieties. The wines, distributed worldwide through Bordeaux trade, are distinguished by their exceptional aging potential. Château Olivier is committed to environmental respect, certified as a High Environmental Value enterprise, and a founding member of the first Bordeaux wine SME association certified ISO 14001. Its first vintage certified organic will be 2023”
