1855 Bordeaux Classification



the 1855 Bordeaux Wine Classification


A little Story….
The 1855 Classification was created to present the most famous Bordeaux wines at the Paris Universal exhibition. The responsibility for drawing it up was given by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce to the Bordeaux Trade Brokers. The idea was to establish a classification based on many years of trade experience.
The classification was the confirmation of an existing market and the evolution over more than a century

  • Sauternes
    Sauternes and Barsac offer a host of surprising aromas: honey, apricots, quince, lime, grilled almond, mint, spices, vanilla, peach, lilac, acacia and angelica. They offer smoothness, softness, balance between sweetness and acidity. These sweet wines are ideal for all kind of foods, whether they be sweet, strong, spicy, subtle, grilled or roast. For this incredibly complex and fleshy wine. Sauternes and Barsac are perfect with foie gras, asparagus, eels in garlic, turbot, roast chicken, breasts of free range poulard served with acacia honey, ginger and sauteed vegetables, blue cheeses, strong, savoury Roquefort are all excellent with Sauternes and Barsac wines, just as goat’s cheese from the Pyrenees and apple and fig puff pastry or pies. It is recommended to serve the Sauternes and Barsac chilled but not iced between 10°-12° C an hour or two before in the door of the refrigerator should be enough. An open bottle can be kept for a few days without harm if it is re-corked and kept in the refrigerator. A somewhat over-dogmatic rule says that younger wines should be drunk before the older. Some vintages are light and others powerful, the lighter wine should be served first even if it is older.
