Classification

Wine classification refers to a system of quality assessment used in various wine regions. The most well-known is the Bordeaux classification from 1855, which ranks wines based on quality and prestige.

This is a highly prestigious wine classification created at the request of Napoleon III and includes the best wineries from the Médoc, Sauternes, and Graves regions. The wines are divided into five categories: Premier Cru (the highest level), Deuxième Cru, Troisième Cru, Quatrième Cru, and Cinquième Cru. Its stability and accuracy are evidenced by the fact that there have been only a few changes in the classification of individual châteaux in over 150 years. Inclusion in this classification signifies high quality and prestige worldwide.
