75% Sauvignon/25% Semillon. Gooseberry, lemon pie and nettle, upfront this is very much about the Sauvignon Blanc. Nice blend of freshness, energy and fruit. Finishes with a wet stone minerality. (NT 24/05/22)

William Kelley
The 2021 Olivier Blanc exhibits aromas of green apples, Sauvignon botanicals, white flowers and struck match, followed by a medium-bodied, taut and saline palate. Chiseled and incisive, it shows promise. 90-92 points
Neal Martin
The 2021 Olivier Blanc has a crisp, stony bouquet with freshly-sliced pear, Granny Smiths and orange blossom. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, citrus fresh with admirable cohesion. Perhaps it needs a little more mineralité on the finish, nevertheless this is a very well-made dry white that will not only drink well for at least a decade, but might represent one of the appellation`s best values. 91-93 points
Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Olivier Blanc is a bold, flavorful Sauvignon Blanc-driven white. Lemon peel, sage, mint and tomato leaf give this grassy, vibrant white tons of character. 90-91 points
