Château Olivier 2019, Grand Cru Classé, Pessac-Léognan – 6 Bottle Original Wooden Case (OWC)

A Pessac-Léognan of exceptional power and precision, Presented in its Original Wooden Case | Cru Classé

A red with depth and focus, showing blackberries, chocolate and black olives. Some smoky undertones. Some fresh herbs, too. It’s full-bodied, round and polished.

"Expressive nose of bright red cherries and strawberries. Good juiciness here, this has life for sure, but the fruit is still a little in high definition right now and edged with spicy oak elements that are quite dominant. Definitely lots going on, and this has power, precision, good fruit and acidity, but it needs more time to soften and integrate. A peppery, quite savoury finish."

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Nestled within a lush, expansive forest near Léognan, Château Olivier is an iconic Graves Classified Growth whose rich medieval heritage has been meticulously nurtured by the Bethmann family since 1886. This majestic estate watches over a prime 52-hectare vineyard dedicated to its flagship red Bordeaux, benefiting from continuous investment in modern, high-precision viticulture. The vintage opened with an unusually mild winter that prompted early budding, followed by a cool, wet spring that tempered growth. Optimal conditions during late-May flowering led to small, exceptionally concentrated berries packed with natural sugars, vibrant energy, and superb aging potential.
