These highly prestigious appellations are internationally renowned, notably thanks to the grands crus classés; a classification that dates back to 1855. It was the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce that asked the brokers' unions to draw up a list of the best wines of Bordeaux, classifying them by châteaux. They are classified in five categories, from premier cru classé to cinquième cru classé. Some of these crus were not included in the list, which led the estates to create their own classification much later... This is the case of Saint Emilion which is revised every ten years.

The position of Saint-Julien makes it the geographical centre of the Médoc, halfway between Margaux and Saint Estèphe. Châteaux grands crus classés are highly prized and almost inaccessible. This is why it is an incredible opportunity to acquire Saint-Julien Grands Crus. The luckiest person will be the one who can let these rare wines wait for many years in the cellar.
