The following 200 pages contain our selection of the most

important Bordeaux estates from A to Z. Here are some hints on

how to read and understand the profiles:

1

Area of origin (AOC / AOP) of the wine listed.

2

Name of the estate: (†) indicates old names or recently defunct estates.

3

O

ffi

cial classification category and year of classification. As Crus Bour-

geois classifications must be earned annually, this designation is given in

brackets for estates which have historically held the classification, even if they

no longer do so. Pomerol and Fronsac do not have any o

ffi

cial classifications.

4

Personal subjective rating, not evaluating absolute quality so much as its

significance from a historical, wine technique and taste perspective, taken as

an average of the last five to ten years. Half a star indicates a rising trend.

Reliable wine.

Good wine recommended in its category.

Very good wine, in line with its status and classification.

Great wine, one of the best in the world.

Outstanding wine promising a unique tasting experience.

5

A brief history, from the foundation of the estate to the current owners.

This information has been sourced from the estate particulars, further re-

searched to the best of our knowledge and belief, checked whenever possible

and supplemented with information from recognised standard works and

archive documents.

6

A personal and deliberately subjective description of the wine including

style, special characteristics, notes on storage life, special vintages etc.

7

Facts about the estate in our possession at the time of printing.

Production:average value which can vary significantly from year to year.
