Chteau GALAU
Ctes de Bourg
By MAGDELEINE CENAC Family

History:
The history of this estate is ancient because Count Nodoz sold it in 1791 to the J.J. Bornes
family, well-known merchant ship-owners in Bordeaux, who reconstituted it and built its
reputation. This property already existed long before the French revolution and was called
Cru de Nodoz.
During the wine crisis of 1930, it was purchased by the Magdeleine Family from the
merchants Posso and Rosenfeld. With its fantastic location on gravel slope, the property
spreads out on 40 hectares (98 acres) in a single piece.
