The Story

A refined Pessac-Léognan Blanc from the outstanding 2016 vintage, Château Olivier Blanc reveals aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, white peach, pear, acacia blossom, flint, and subtle toasted oak. Richly textured yet beautifully vibrant, it delivers crisp acidity, elegant minerality, remarkable precision, and a long, sophisticated finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, grilled turbot, scallops, roast chicken, oysters, creamy seafood pasta, goat cheese, or herb-roasted vegetables.

 

94 Points -

Clear minerality spirals through this wine. It has a salinity and grip that's just totally seductive. A more subtle and intellectual white than some, it has a fierce sense of energy and is just frankly delicious. A touch of reduction at this stage.
94 Points -
This is a ripe style of wine, rich with white fruits as well as having a more herbal character. Spice from wood aging shows lightly, contrasting with the generous fruitiness and mineral texture.
91 Points -
Melon, white peaches and lemons on the nose of this generous, but fresh white. Quite a salty-mineral finish, where there’s a touch of tannin. A good food-wine. Drink or hold.
91 Points -
The Olivier 2016 Blanc gives up elderflower, lime juice and fresh Bosc pear scents with touches of honeysuckle, crushed stones and waxy lemons. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers wonderful tension and intensity with loads of honeyed citrus layers and a perfumed finish.
90 Points -
The 2016 Château Olivier Blanc has a bracing minerality as well as medium-bodied notes of tart peach, crushed rock, and lemon zest. It’s clean, beautifully balanced, and has balancing texture. The whites in 2016 are top notch, with both richness and freshness, and this is a great example.
