In 1953, Chateau Olivier was classified for both red and white because of its top terroir. The 2020 Chateau Olivier Rouge is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. The merlot comes from a vineyard located on gravel where the cabernet sauvignon vineyard grows more on a clay soil. In the glass, the Chateau Olivier is dark purplish red with a nose of crunchy fruit with some spicy spicy notes such as ripe red berries and black cherry compote with forest soil and scorched cedar. What always stands out in Chateau Olivier's wines is the freshness of the wine and its a Bordeaux which is already extremely good to drink in its younger years and has an extremely pleasant price for a Grand Cru Classé
