Positioned just 11 kilometres away from Bordeaux`s city centre, within the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Olivier stands as a magnificent estate with roots tracing back to the Middle Ages. The property currently belongs to Alexandre de Bethmann, who has maintained the estate within his family since the late 19th century. The day-to-day operations are under the watchful eye of Laurent Lebrun. This particular release hails from the 1989 vintage, which proved to be an outstanding year for Europe. Bordeaux, in particular, emerged as a standout, showcasing remarkable quality across its reds, whites, and dessert wines, with virtually no flaws to be found.
