Bordeaux 1855 Classification

The 1855 Bordeaux Classification ranks the principal Left Bank red-wine estates from first through fifth growths. This guide covers the Médoc red classification plus Château Haut-Brion from Graves/Pessac-Léognan. It does not cover the separate 1855 Sauternes and Barsac sweet-wine classification.

Each estate below is matched to its ELID producer code and principal classified wine. Producer and wine pages are linked where those public pages are currently available. Mouton Rothschild is shown as a first growth in its current post-1973 position, and Cantemerle is included among the fifth growths after its later addition to the 1855 list.

Coverage note: all 61 current Left Bank red classed growth estates are matched to ELID producer codes in this guide, and 61 currently have public ELID producer pages. Where a producer page is not yet public, the ELID code is shown without a link.

Within each growth, estates are grouped by appellation and then listed alphabetically by producer.
