THE MEDOC CLASSIFICATION
Of all the classifications that exist it is the 1855 classification which
is meant whenever anyone refers to "The Classification". It was
commissioned by the Bordeaux Chamber of commerce, which was required by
the government of the Second Empire to present a selection of its wines
at the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris. For their own ends, the- brokers
of the Bordeaux Stock Exchange traditionally categorized the most famous
Bordeaux properties on the basis of the prices they fetched, so they were
charged by the Chamber of Commerce to submit a complete list of classified
red Bordeaux wines as well as the great white wines.
