Château Olivier is classified as Grand Cru Classé in both red and white in the Classification of Graves Wines of 1953. In this Classification, 16 Châteaux of the region are listed, Including the Château Haut-Brion. Olivier is a very old seigniory, dating back to the Middle Ages. It is said that the Black Prince enjoyed coming here to hunt, as the surrounding forests were so well-stocked in game. Since the 19th century, the estate has belonged to an old Bordeaux family in the shape of the Bethmanns. With the power and structure that 2018 brought to the vineyards and the incredible terroirs that produce these grapes, this wine is built to last.

Located just 6 miles from the charming city of Bordeaux and with more than 135 acres of vineyard planted in soils composed of gravel on a clay and limestone base, Château Olivier has a perfect terroir for both red and white wines. In charge of agronomy and winemaking is Laurent Lebrun, who has worked on important wine projects both in Australia and France.

2016 was en epic year for the Left Bank in Bordeaux. Vinous Media awarded this year with a 98 point review and said, "The 2016s are absolutely remarkable wines. The word that comes to mind, unfortunately so often overused, is balance. The best 2016s are absolutely harmonious, with the tannins barely perceptible at all. The 2016s also have tremendous energy and bright, acid-driven profiles, with many wines playing more in the red-fruit area of the flavor spectrum."
