First Growths
First Growths/Premiers Crus
Many consider this small group as the very best of Bordeaux wine, throughout many generations, some even centuries. When originally created in 1855, this list included only 4 wines that were considered to be the best from Médoc, Bordeaux. In 1973, Château Mouton Rothschild was promoted into this group to reflect its quality, reputation, and stewardship under its then owner, the famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild. That's why we now have "five".
