In 1953, the French National Appellation of Origin (INAO) rated the wines of the Graves appellation, taking into account the history of the estate, the vineyards and the style of the wines, using the price of the wines as a reference. 1959, the INAO revised the rating again and selected a total of 16 Grand Cru Classés, making the Graves classification system official.
The classification only distinguishes between red and white wines, and there is no longer a hierarchy between the Grand Crus. There are seven red wines only, three white wines only, and six red and white wines: Domaine de Chevalier, Château Latour-Martillac, Château Bouscaut, Château Bresse, and Château Bresse. Château Carbonnieux, Château Malartic-Lagraviere and Château Olivier. It is worth mentioning that Chateau Haut-Brion was not only selected as a Graves Grand Cru with its red wines, but is also a member of the Bordeaux 1855 Grand Cru, which shows its extraordinary strength.Warm reminder: Stay tuned to LuFuture.com app for the latest market updates.
