Château Olivier Pessac-Leognan Grand Cru Classé AOC


Château Olivier Pessac-Leognan Grand Cru Classé AOC

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 14.5%

APPEARANCE
The colour is deep, a dense opaque purple.

NOSE
The intense bouquet is open and fine, with menthol and spiced notes complemented by nicely mature black fruit notes.

PALATE
The attack on the palate is very fleshy and swiftly marked by a remarkable density. The freshness resulting from the natural concentration is underlined by an intense and fine tannic structure, with a slightly softened sensation, but a sober palate that remains somewhat austere. The finish is long and fruity with hints of liquorice.

AGEING
12 months in French oak barrels.

PAIRING
This Pessac-Leognan red will go well with quail with figs, grilled lamb chops or beef tenderloin in foie gras crust.
