Château Olivier Pessac-Leognan Grand Cru Classé AOC

In the heart of a vast estate composed of forest, meadows and vineyards, Château Olivier emerges from its woods as in a clearing.
Its beautiful architecture, its bodies of water and the quality of the annex buildings, make it an exceptional site in the middle of nature, only eleven kilometers from Bordeaux.
Château Olivier wine was classified in 1953, both in red and white.
