Note di degustazione
The 2025 Olivier has a vibrant and quite precocious nose that is almost Saint-Émilion-like in style. Well defined, very floral, with bunches of violets. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. There is a little more flesh compared with its peers, although there is a slight looseness on the finish that hopefully will be remedied with barrel maturation. I was just hoping for more here.

A big, rich Pessac-Léognan, the 2025 Château Olivier is based on 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot that's being raised 12 months in 30% new oak. Its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeous bouquet of cassis, darker raspberries, spicy wood, and smoky aromatics. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has notable purity and solid length on the finish. Checking in at 13.45% alcohol with a pH of 3.5, it's another ripe, forward, yet still nicely structured wine from this region in 2025 that has plenty to love.
The 2025 Olivier is a potent, brooding wine. Blackberry, chocolate, new leather, licorice and cloves lend tons of intensity. The edges are starting to fray a bit, but that might be the sample.
Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Olivier is one of the few actual castles in Bordeaux – coming with a moat and drawbridge. Since Alexandre de Bethmann took over here in 2012, the château has been given a new lease of life, with quality on the rise.
