Viniou Reviews

Château Olivier 2021, hailing from the distinguished Pessac-Léognan appellation in the Graves sub-region of Bordeaux, is a red wine that embodies the classic elements of Bordeaux's viticultural prowess. While specific details on the blend aren't provided, it is typical for Pessac-Léognan reds to comprise a mix of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and occasionally Cabernet Franc. The 2021 vintage encountered a somewhat challenging growing season due to variable weather, but skilled winemakers in the region are adept at creating balanced wines even in difficult years. The High Environmental Value (HVE) certification suggests sustainable practices were employed in its production, ensuring a wine that respects both tradition and the environment.

Pessac-Léognan is renowned for its deep gravelly soils, renowned for producing wines with great structure and longevity. This terroir, combined with the adept craftsmanship of Château Olivier, often results in wines that exhibit characteristics of ripe red fruit, earthy notes, and a touch of graphite or smoky minerality. The region's mild Maritime climate with ample sun, tempered by the Atlantic's influence, creates ideal conditions for grape maturation, contributing to the complexity and elegance of the wines produced here.

In terms of food pairings, Château Olivier 2021 would beautifully complement roasted lamb dishes, offering a perfect match to the wine's robust character. Regional dishes such as canard aux cèpes (duck with porcini mushrooms) would highlight its rich and earthy notes. For a more international option, try pairing it with beef Wellington or a classic roast beef with a peppercorn sauce.

To fully appreciate Château Olivier 2021, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. This will allow the wine’s complex aromas to open up, enhancing the tasting experience. Decanting the wine for about an hour before serving can also aid in revealing its full bouquet and depth.
