Frequently asked
What is the 1855 Classification?
Distinctive Bordeaux Left Bank Château classification established 1855 by order of Napoleon III for Paris Universal Exhibition. Ranked Médoc Châteaux from First Growth (Premier Cru) to Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru). First Growths: Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, Haut-Brion, Mouton Rothschild (added 1973). Widely regarded as one of the world's most iconic wine classifications globally.
What is a 2nd wine?
Distinctive Bordeaux tradition — many great châteaux produce a "2nd wine" from younger vines or parcels not selected for the flagship ("grand vin"). Same estate, same winemaking team, more accessible price. Carruades is Lafite Rothschild's 2nd wine — considered one of the world's finest 2nd wines globally.
