Château Olivier Blanc – Pessac-Léognan – White – 2015:

 

The Château Olivier Blanc, a Classified Growth from Graves, represents the pinnacle of dry white Bordeaux. Hailing from the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation, this wine is a true gem, perfectly balancing the richness of Sémillon with the vibrant acidity of Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: The Connoisseur’s Choice

Its scintillating pale yellow hue introduces an aromatic profile of rare complexity.

• Nose: Fresh citrus (pink grapefruit, lemon zest), exotic fruits, and subtle notes of vanilla and toast from careful barrel aging.
• Palate: A full, creamy, and rich attack, offering a luscious texture magnificently balanced by a precise, chiseled mineral acidity. The finish is long, fresh, and distinctly saline.

Pairing & Serving Tips

This exceptional wine demands equally exceptional cuisine. Serve it between 52°F and 55°F (11-13°C).

• Pairings: Seared Sea Scallops, Butter-Poached Lobster, Roasted Free-Range Chicken.
