A family heritage restored with passion

The Cru de Nodoz owes its initial renown to Mr Bordes, a Bordeaux shipowner, who developed it before the Magdeleine family took over its management in 1930. In the 1980s, Jean-Louis and Josiane Magdeleine restored the vineyard left by the grandfather. Sandrine and Jean-Francois, the next generation, gave the estate new impetus in the early 2000s, blending respect for tradition and a contemporary vision.


Wines for every moment

The philosophy of Chateau Nodoz: sincere and expressive wines, to be enjoyed both every day and on more exceptional occasions. The Nodoz new-barrel cuvee, a refined ageing wine, reveals a complex aromatic palette, while the Galau cuvee is more convivial, perfect to accompany meals with friends or family.

To celebrate the fine weather, new cuvees highlight the diversity of the estate's expertise: a Merlot rose, a 100% Sauvignon Blanc white and a Prestige white aged in barrels.
