Serres has dedicated the map to Mr Duffour Dubergier, the head of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, who on 5th April 1855, had ordered the official classification of Bordeaux wines. The surveyor in question was Unal Serres, a local cartographer, whose other known works include a plan of Bordeaux.
The white wines, then of much less importance than red wine, were limited to the sweet varieties of Sauternes and Barsac and were ranked only from first great growth to second growth.Ī note to the right of the plan reads: (trans.) “This map is a reduction of the one used at the General Exhibition of 1855 by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce it is drawn by the same surveyor”. All of the red wines that made it on the list came from the Médoc region except for one: Château Haut-Brion from Graves.
The wines were ranked in importance from first to fifth growths (crus). Brokers from the wine industry ranked the wines according to a château’s reputation and trading price, which at that time was directly related to quality. The Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 resulted from the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris, when Emperor Napoleon III requested a classification system for France’s best Bordeaux wines which were to be on display for visitors from around the world. french wineries France map Bordeaux burgundy wine made in France vintage wine cellar poster France vineyards map restaurant decoration.
