James Suckling
This shows lots of exotic fruit with sliced mango, lemon curd, lemon zest and a touch of honeysuckle. It’s full and layered with plenty of flavor and a zesty, lively finish. Vivid. Drinkable now, but will age beautifully.
-
Decanter
Flourishes of jasmine on the first nose, quickly giving way to richly textured stone fruits, citrus and white pepper spicing. Well measured and balanced, with a juicy finish, showing why this is one of the most consistently delicious whites of Bordeaux.

Wine Enthusiast
The vineyard of this estate, set in a forested park, has produced a textured, ripe and tightly citrus-flavored wine. The tangy character, enhanced by spice, has plenty of aging ahead of it. Drink this crisp wine from 2024.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Olivier Blanc exhibits aromas of waxy pear, white flowers, grapefruit zest and Sauvignon botanicals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tangy and incisive palate with a delicately textural attack, fine concentration at the core and a long, saline finish. This is a racier, more tightly wound white Bordeaux that should drink well for a decade. Best After 2021

Wine Spectator
Bright and fresh, with a hint of talc giving way quickly to lemon pith, straw and gooseberry. This has a toasty edge, but stays racy in feel overall. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now.

Jeb Dunnuck
Subtle melon, lime, oyster shell, and some mineral notes all emerge from the 2019 Château Olivier Blanc, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, quality Bordeaux Blanc to drink over the coming 4-6 years. Best After 2022

For years and years, Chateau Olivier has brought together the present and the past by making wines of great art in an estate that is the stuff of legends... Fashioned by the terroir in which they are rooted, shaped by all those who work the vines, the wines of Chateau Olivier are a magnificent expression of their appellation among the six Classified Growths of Graves in red and white. Skillfully perpetuating the history of the estate, the wine-growers of Olivier help give the wines they produce the same charm and authenticity as its surrounding walls which are nearly a thousand years old.
Our ambition to develop quality further can be seen first and foremost in the dynamic, technically modern methods we use to enhance the terroir. The recent geological discoveries in the two gravel mounds of Olivier have confirmed the richness and diversity of an outstanding viticultural heritage. 11 different terroirs have been identified, passed down by those who once contributed to the building of the fine reputation of Bordeaux’s great growths. The new vat-house, re-designed to bring the very best out of each of the estate’s plots, house the year’s harvest. It is a perfect balance between ancient architecture and state-of-the-art equipment.
