The classification was done for the Paris World Exhibition. The base for the classification was the price paid during the preceding ten years for produce from the various chateaus. |
Additional to Sauternes, there are four districts permitted to use the label Sauternes: Barsac, Preignac, Bommes and Fargues. The classing resulted in three different classes: Premier Crus Supérieu, Premier Crus Les seconds Crus |
Only one Chateau qualified for the top class, Premier Crus Supérieu, namely Chateau d’Yquem. In premier Crus there were nine and in Les seconds Crus eleven Chateaus.
