In the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid, it was last classified as "Cru Bourgeois Supèrieur" in 2003.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
