After years of unsuccessful attempts, the Alliance des Crus Bourgeois du Médoc (in 2020) has reintroduced a three-tier ranking system: Cru Bourgeois, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur and Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. 249 chateaux applied (with wines from five vintages between 2008 and 2016) for Cru Bourgeois-class of which 179 were classified as Cru Bourgeois, 56 as Cru Bourgeois Supérieur and 14 as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. To gain Cru Bourgeois Supérieur or Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel-status (class), a château must submit a dossier that outlines its terroir and practices (sustainability, quality of viticulture and wine making methods), prior to tasting and visit from an expert panel.
