Wonderful to see the work that is being done at Château Olivier. This estate has always been a bit of a hidden gem, especially if you like crisp whites and classic reds, they have never been tempted by the more modern big fruits, that now seems to fade out again of fashion. But they get ever more precise and refined. And now with the work around the mote of the château, this fairy tale looking estate is really shining. If you visit Bordeaux, you should visit Olivier. One of the really old estates of the region.
