Medoc Wines: A Guide to Bordeaux's Treasure
EntSun News/11054126
EAST SETAUKET, N.Y. - EntSun -- Médoc: The Crown Jewel of Bordeaux

The 1855 Classification: A Legacy of Excellence
One of the most defining moments in the history of Médoc wines was the establishment of the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, which was commissioned by Emperor Napoleon III for the Exposition Universelle in Paris. This ranking of châteaux was based on the reputation and market price of their wines at the time. The classification recognized five tiers of Grand Cru Classé wines, primarily from the Médoc, with one notable exception: Château Haut-Brion, from the Graves region.

- Château Mouton Rothschild (elevated to First Growth status in 1973)
- Château Haut-Brion (from Graves, but included in the classification)
Beyond the First Growths, the Médoc is home to many esteemed Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Growths, which continue to produce some of the finest wines in the world …
