James Suckling 94pt

Plenty of pear drop, honey, ginger, and dried pineapple character. Full-bodied. Framed and tangy at the end. Very typical white from this appellation.

Wine Advocate 90pt

The 2020 Olivier Blanc is a pretty, medium-bodied, Sauvignon-dominant white evocative of grapefruit oil and lemongrass. Crisp and precise, it's less fleshy and textural than its 2019 counterpart. Bottled under natural cork, I suspect it will be at its best young.

Wine Enthusiast 94pt

Crisp, tight and mineral driven, the wine is both crisp and textured. The citrus and green fruits give freshness as well as spice flavors. The wine should be very fine as it matures.

Wine Spectator 91pt

This has nice fresh lemon peel, gooseberry and wet stone notes, with tarragon and fleur de sel accents through the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

Harvest

The impact of the climate required careful attention and careful work from the winemakers. The harvest took place slowly from August 20th to September 8th, with a very early vintage. Juice selection is important to preserve the aromas and acidity in front of a large quantity of grapes. We must craft our white wines from a structure that reflects Olivier's identity.

Tasting notes

The color is light yellow. The nose is very expressive with citrus notes. The attack is lively, with distinct citrus aromas. Slight notes of pastry appear, along with a certain sweetness. The finish is long, with fruity notes remaining present.
