The St. Emilion Classification will be based on tasting the wines and visits to each property seeking to have their wines classified. Chateaux desiring “Grand Cru Classé” status will provide 10 vintages of their wines. Chateaux seeking “Premier Grand Cru Classé” status must provide 15 vintages of their wines to be tasted.
