Château
LA GALIANE

Margaux

The Château takes his name from the English General Galian who, from this location, commanded the English troops during the occupation of Aquitaine in the 15th century.
Château Galiane has been a family vineyard for generations. It is planted with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Verdot, which offer a perfect balance, a classic and traditional wine in the Margaux appellation. The vineyard spreads over fine gravel knolls.
At Château Galiane, we work a lot on the soils, we do leaf-stripping and take great care of the vines, which is the starting point of a great wine.
