Description
Lighted coloured, the nose is armotic with notes of citrus and white flowers. The after – nose is on vanilla aromas because og its ageing in barrels. The attack is greedy and the evolution is ample and fresh. Its great acidity and complexity provide an harmonIous ageing in bottle
Tasting
«The 2014 Olivier Blanc has retained that attractive mineral-drenched bouquet that I enjoyed so much out of barrel: fine delineation and a sense of energy bursting from the glass. The palate is very fresh on the entry with lime cordial, kiwi fruit and a touch of lemongrass, less shrill than it showed at primeur but with an engaging, lip-smacking salinité on the persistent finish. Excellent white Pessac-Léognan. » – Wine Advocate

Description
Its color is clear yellow. The sauvignons are rich on grapefruit and mandarin notes. The semillons complete the rich aromatic palette with candied apricot aromas. There is a good tension and the mouth is long
Tasting
“The Olivier 2017 Blanc gives up green mango, guava and pink grapefruit aromas with notes of honeysuckle, mandarin peel and ginger. The palate is medium-bodied, clean, crisp and minerally with great length.” – Wine Advocate
