Of the 61 classified wine chateaux (1855 Classification) belong 21 to the appellation, of those 21 belong 1 (Château Margaux) to Premiers Crus, 5 (Château Brane-Cantenac, Château Durfort-Vivens, Château Lascombes, Château Rauzan-Gassies and Château Rauzan-Ségla) to Deuxièmes Crus, 10 (Château Boyd-Cantenac, Château Cantenac-Brown, Chateau Desmiral, Chateau Ferrière, Château Giscours, Château d'Issan, Château Kirwan, Château Malescot St. Exupéry, Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker and Château Palmer) to Troisièmes Crus, 3 (Château Marquis de Terme, Château Pouget and Château Prieuré-Lichine) to Quatrièmes Crus and 2 (Château Dauzac and Château du Tertre) to Cinquièmes Crus. The average yield is 41 hl/ha. Margaux is the largest appellation in the Médoc wine district. Both during very rainy years and extremely dry years should the wines from this appellation be avoided. The reason is that during the very rainy years, the Cabernet Sauvignon’s grapes do not achieve sufficiently high maturity and usually they are attacked by fungus while during the very dry years they are affected by stress (the grapes’ maturation get smaller due to the reduction in photosynthesis).
