The Crus Bourgeois aren’t new, but there is revitalized energy around this classic Bordeaux category.
The original classification arose out of the historical environment in Bordeaux. As of February 2020, all Cru Bourgeois estates have undergone a review of multiple criteria by an independent body. This includes blind tasting and environmental considerations at the foundation. Cru Bourgeois now presents a modern, evolving category that offers consumers confidence.
“Cru Bourgeois has emerged as a more powerful classification as a result of many recent initiatives,” says Robert Cavanaugh , founder of Adventure Wine . As a wine buyer, educator, and member of the International Bordeaux Ambassador program, he’s kept a close eye on the changes of Cru Bourgeois. “The evolution in Cru Bourgeois’ standing in the U.S. took over ten years of preparation and consultation, and provides a more complete, long-term view of the various châteaux, along with consistency in quality and practices.”
These are rich, full-bodied red wines from Bordeaux’s prestigious Left Bank. Besides the growing environment, there is also an inherent generational and cultural know-how. “The winemaking in Bordeaux is some of the most advanced in the world. This certainly applies to the circle of the Cru Bourgeois,” says Yannick Benjamin , a New York-based sommelier and co-founder of Wine on Wheels.
“Unfortunately there is this bizarre stigma when it comes to competitive pricing in Bordeaux,” says Benjamin. “Wine drinkers have incorrectly been conditioned to think that to drink a great Bordeaux one has to spend a lot of money, but the best wines can be had in this category for great value.” Cavanaugh says that the majority of Cru Bourgeois are under $50, even from some of the most prestigious Médoc regions such as Pauillac or Margaux. (There are many exciting discoveries in the $15 – $25 range!)
“Look for the classification printed on the front label as well as the QR code on the back label or along the capsule,” advises Cavanaugh. “These stickers provide all sorts of information when scanned.” Benjamin says that shop owners and sommeliers are excellent sources for determining the best vintages.
“The evaluation is an impartial, rigorous process that ensures honest rankings, complete with blind tasting at multiple stages,” says Cavanaugh. “Consumers can appreciate the inclusion of technical vineyard management reviews, environmental certifications , and marketing considerations as well.”
“Many Cru Bourgeois are made for early consumption because they generally have a higher percentage of Merlot, so there is no need to wait decades to drink them,” says Benjamin. “But they also have the potential to be cellar-worthy, so you get the best of both worlds.”
Satisfying to any wine consumer, the Cru Bourgeois cultivate a diverse range for every taste and budget. “Cru Bourgeois is a guarantee of quality, value, and diversity — benefits that I’ve enjoyed to the point that it’s a pleasure to share with others so they can explore them too,” says Cavanaugh.

Bordeaux Classifications Bordeaux wines are famous for full-bodied red wine blends tasting of dark fruit and spices, dry white wines with tropical fruit, and luscious sweet wines.
Within the region of Bordeaux you'll find several special classifications on bottle labels. In fact, there are five different cru classification systems used throughout the region!
What's interesting to note is that all of the systems have tremendous wineries within them, so it's a great way to find high quality wines.
During Napoleon's rule, an effort was made to categorize the best wineries in Bordeaux. The classification includes 5 quality tiers and a total of 88 wineries. What's surprising is that the still stands today!
Of the 88 wineries, 60 wineries sit in Médoc, one sits in Pessac-Léognan, and 27 sit Sauternes and Barsac. There are only 5 wineries on the top tier.
For the longest time, if you weren't on the 1855 Grand Cru Classé system, you were basically a second-class winery–even if you made delicious wine! So, in an attempt to level the playing field in the Médoc region, another cru system was created: Cru Bourgeois (1932) with about 250 producers today!
Sometimes this classification is called the Cru Classé de Pessac-Léognan because all the wineries are in Pessac! This cru classé system is quite small – just 16 wineries. What makes it unique is that it's one of the only crus in Bordeaux that features white wines prominently.
On the right bank, you'll find one of the most prestigious (and contentious) classification systems. The Grand Crus de Saint-Émilion was established in 1954 and has two tiers: Grand Cru Classé and Premier Grand Cru Classé. Within the Premier Grand Cru Classé category there are two divisions, A and B.
What makes this system unique is that wineries are reclassified every 10 years based on quality. And this means if you don't continue to make great wine, you will lose your cru status!
Currently, there are 64 wineries with "Grand Cru Classé" status, and 18 wineries with "Premier Grand Cru Classé" status. Of the 18 Premier Grand Cru Classé wineries 4 fall into the “A” category and 14 into “B”.
Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” wineries are considered some of the finest wines in Bordeaux, though it's useful to note that a couple famous wineries in Saint-Émilion recently refuse to be classified.
On the regional level, you'll find a couple of differences on the label.
