-Lafite-Rochschild, Lafite winery, ranked first in the rating of 1855;
-latour Castle owned by Pi Nuo, the richest man in Europe;
-Margaux Winery visited by Vice President Hu Jintao during his visit to France;
-Mouton-Roach Schild, Mu Tong winery, whose wine label is famous for its sheep head pattern;
-Haut-Brion, the winery of Obiang, is known as the "King of Graf" and is the only top wine not produced in Medoc.
In the rating of 1855, Chateau d'Yquem in Sauternes is the only sweet white wine winery rated as a first-class winery. In addition, there are two wineries on the right bank of Bordeaux that did not participate in the selection, and the recognized level in the industry is not inferior to the "Big Five":
-Yquem, Egan Winery, which is known as the "No.1 Winery in the World", is really unique in its expensive and rotten sweet wine;
-Cheval Blanc, White Horse Winery, one of the two largest wineries in Saint Emilion on the right bank;
-Ausone Winery, one of the two wineries in Saint Emilion on the right bank;
Together, the above eight wineries are called the "Big Eight". However, judging from the price of wine, the most expensive wines in Bordeaux over the years are often not the "top eight". In general, Bertus Winery in Pomero is the most expensive wine. Its unique meteorite soil makes its wine unique, and it ranks among the first-class wineries in robert parker's scoring table for a long time. In addition, it has been sought after by American wine lovers since the 1970s, and its value has doubled.
Bordeaux wine grade
Bordeaux is the only region in France that adopts the "graded winery" system, which is divided into three grades, six grades and nine grades. Whether the winery changes hands or not, whether it still retains its original quality. However, most French producing areas such as Burgundy or Champagne only classify vineyards. In fact, this is the real consideration of nature and land characteristics. Bordeaux's "graded winery" system seems to be inconsistent with the spirit of French wine respecting the land, and it is also a special policy preference left over from history.
Bordeaux has four producing areas, including Medoc, Saint Emilion, Graves, Sotne and Balsac. Their grading methods are different and will be elaborated in the specific introduction of each producing area.
