Fun Facts:  Chateau Bonalgue is a Petite Château with only 7.5 hectares of vineyards planted in the Right Bank, Pomerol, Bordeaux region.  During the French Revolution, the first reference to vines in the ‘Graves de Bonalgue’ area appeared in local archives.  A veteran from Napoleon’s Grand Army, Captain Rabion, inherited the land and built a handsome residence. The building housed his regimental arms and the garden was filled with magnificent Lebanese Cedar trees; Chateau Bonalgue was born! You can now stay at the Chateau by booking online.
