Château Nodoz

Château Nodoz: A Historic and Welcoming Vineyard in the Heart of Côtes de Bourg

Located in Tauriac, within the Côtes de Bourg appellation, Château Nodoz embodies the accessible elegance of the Bordeaux vineyard. Since 2002, Sandrine and Jean-François Magdeleine-Cenac, former lawyers turned passionate winemakers, have taken over this family estate with the ambition to produce authentic wines that are both generous and easy to share. Rooted in history since before the French Revolution, the estate now spans 38 hectares across the communes of Tauriac, Lansac, and Bourg-sur-Gironde. The vines, cultivated according to sustainable farming principles, benefit from excellent exposure on gravelly hillsides oriented East/Southeast and Southwest, ensuring optimal sunlight.

A Family Heritage Rehabilitated with Passion

The "Cru de Nodoz" initially gained its reputation thanks to Mr. Bordes, a Bordeaux shipowner who developed it before the Magdeleine family took over management in 1930. In the 1980s, Jean-Louis and Josiane Magdeleine restored the vineyard left by their grandfather. Sandrine and Jean-François, the next generation, gave new momentum to the estate in the early 2000s, blending respect for traditions with a contemporary vision.

Wines for Every Occasion

The philosophy of Château Nodoz: sincere and expressive wines to be enjoyed both daily and during special moments. Their “Nodoz barriques neuves” cuvée, a refined aging wine, reveals a complex aromatic palette, while the “Galau” cuvée is more convivial, perfect to accompany meals with friends or family.
