Classification
Premier Grand Cru Classé
Premier Grand Cru Classé is a prestigious designation awarded to a select group of Bordeaux wine estates that consistently produce wines of exceptional quality and distinction. In the 1855 Classification, created for the Exposition Universelle de Paris, only five estates from the Médoc and one from Graves (now part of Pessac-Léognan) were ranked as Premier Cru Classé, including iconic names like Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château Haut-Brion, and Château Mouton Rothschild (which was elevated to this status in 1973). In Saint-Émilion, a separate and regularly updated classification system recognizes a few top estates as Premier Grand Cru Classé A and B, with only a handful achieving the highest tier. This title reflects not only a wine's historical significance but also its ongoing excellence in vineyard management, terroir expression, and winemaking. Wines from Premier Grand Cru Classé estates are highly sought after for their complexity, longevity, and prestige.
