Château Olivier Blanc

Château Olivier has been in the hands of the de Bethmann family since it was acquired by Alexandre de Bethmann in the late-19th century. The de Bethmann family are descended from German nobility, and grew into a successful banking dynasty, and so probably didn’t have any great shortage of funds; the acquisition of an attractive and ancient property such as Olivier was probably not much of a fiscal challenge, especially if we consider the family also owned Gruaud-Larose at one point, and their bank made a significant contribution towards the financing of the construction of the Eiffel Tower.

Pale-yellow colour. The nose is very expressive, displaying citrus notes. The wine starts out lively with noticeable citrus aromas following through to the palate. Sweet pastry overtones come to the fore, giving the impression of sweetness. The finish is long and remarkably fruity.

An ideal accompaniment to a Sunday Roast chicken and fresh vegetable lunch
