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.
Brimming with gooseberry freshness on the nose, there is a touch of wet wool providing that white Bordeaux typicity. Zesty, tight and lean on the palate with lemon and lime tang and a succulent tropical fruit intensity, this is a super wine that will give immediate pleasure whilst also offering a propensity to age.
The 2024 harvest began on September 5th and finished on 17th September, yielding an impressive 51 hl/ha. Will be aged in 25% new oak, 15% demi muids, 5% glass and 55% old oak
