2014 Olivier Blanc (Pessac-Leognan)

The Château Olivier Blanc 2014 has much more complexity on the nose compared to its red counterpart: mineral-rich citrus fruit with Granny Smith apples and freshly cut pear. The palate is vibrant and animated with an almost shrill opening: a killer line of acidity (reminiscent of Domaine de Chevalier Blanc!) and an almost Muscadet-like, marine-influenced finish. This is a great white Olivier to enjoy over the next 20 years. 90-92 points

Pale, almost water white in colour, with delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus peel to match. Youthful, bright and breezy with excellent focus, subtle oak, and a pithy, bone dry finish. Always a good value white Bordeaux blend. 92 points
