The Crus Bourgeois are a legacy that dates back to the Middle Ages.
The bourgeois were inhabitants of the "bourg" of Bordeaux, a town of merchants and craftsmen. During the period of English rule, they acquired rights and privileges, including exemption from taxes on the sale of the wines from their vineyards both locally (Guyenne) and abroad.
Two centuries later, this legacy will be called the “Crus Bourgeois”.
A quality assurance initiative approved by the French public authorities in 2009 identify a new qualitative selection procedure for the Crus Bourgeois du Médoc.
The Crus Bourgeois du Médoc Official Selection has been published every year in September since 2010.
Only 247 wines are authorised to use the "Crus Bourgeois" designation in the world.
