Classification system
The classification system for the Pessac-Léognan region dates back to 1959. 13 estates have "Cru Classé"
status
for the red wines. 8 estates have the "Cru Classé" status for the white wines. Contrary to the
Medoc,
there is no further levels of rank within this "Cru Classé" category.
Although not officially "Cru Classé", some châteaux are nonetheless considered by the
trade
as "Cru Classé or assimilated". Example: Ch La Louviere in both red and white.
