Chateau Olivier

Although the history of Château Olivier dates back to the 12th century, Château Olivier as we know it today was designed by the Bethmann family. The Bethmann family is one of the oldest Bordeaux families and has been the proud owners of Château Olivier since 1886.

It is the many innovations and the vision of the Bethmann family, which constantly moves with the times, that have allowed Château Olivier to receive its classification as Grand Cru Classé de Graves in 1953 for both its red and white wines. The approximately 50 hectares of vineyards of Château Olivier are located about 11 kilometers south of the city of Bordeaux and are on average 20 years old. These older vines provide more concentrate and depth to the wines. To this day, Château Olivier's vineyards are harvested by hand and transported in small crates to the cellar, where they are carefully selected for ripeness and quality.
