Q

Cru Bourgeois?

What is it?

A

Cru Bourgeois, an embattled classification originally introduced in 1932, divided 444 properties into three categories: Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, and Cru Bourgeois. The classification was not official until 2003, when only 247 châteaux retained their status. The resulting legal action nullified the entire classification. Cru Bourgeois was reinstated for the 2008 vintage, but the higher designations of cru bourgeois exceptionnel and cru bourgeois supérieur were eliminated. In 2018, new legislation passed to reinstate the previously eliminated terms. In 2020, 249 châteaux were given Cru Bourgeois status, including 14 crus bourgeois exceptionnels and 56 crus bourgeois supérieurs. The classification will be reviewed every five years, with a new list appearing in 2025.

Q

Cru Artisan?

A

Cru Artisan, a designation that has been in use for nearly a century and a half, was formally recognized in 2002. Beginning in 2005, 44 small producers throughout the Médoc’s eight appellations had the right to use the designation, denoting their place as exceptional stewards of the land and craft of winemaking, without the financing or apparatus of large-scale operations. The crus artisans work an average of six hectares each. Following a review in 2018, the number of producers has decreased to 36, reflecting changes in ownership. Rankings will now be updated every 5 years, as opposed to every 10 as previously required.
