Arthus D’Olivey Pessac-Leognan AOC

Arthus d’Olivey lived at Château Olivier in the 16th century and gave it his name. He transformed the medieval building into a veritable fortress with four towers and a moat. It was during his time that the first vines were planted (1515).

A micro-cuvée from Château Olivier, a classy Graves vintage. This wine is a nod to the estate’s founder, made for lovers of Bordeaux elegance.
