Bordeaux Cru Classé wines come from the estates ranked in the region's great classifications: the 1855 Médoc and Sauternes list, the Graves ranking and the Saint-Émilion classification. Each château has earned its place through vineyard quality, winemaking skill and decades of consistency. These are some of the most collectable, age worthy wines in the world.

This collection brings together classified growth Bordeaux from Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe and beyond. Prices start at around £25 and rise to £$00 and above for the most celebrated names. You will find producers such as Château Léoville Barton, Château Palmer and Château Talbot, each with a distinctive style, from the structure of Saint-Julien to the perfume of Margaux.

Cru Classé Bordeaux suits collectors building a cellar for the long term, and anyone choosing a gift for a birth year, wedding or milestone birthday. It is also a dependable choice for hosts who want a centrepiece bottle for a special dinner. If you are ready to step up from everyday claret, this is the place to begin.
