History
Château La Galiane is a family-run property in the Margaux commune of Soussans. It is owned and managed by Christiane Renon, who represents the third generation. The names of the estate derives from the English general, Galiane, who was prominent in Aquitaine during the 100 Years War. The estate’s 5 hectares are planted with 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines is over 50 years, among the oldest in the appellation, and some plants are over 100 years old. The high proportion of Merlot is unusual in the Medoc and it contributes to the warm, rich style of Château La Galiane.
