When it comes to Bordeaux red wine, I believe the most familiar to the public is Lafite Chateau. As early as 1855 at the Universal Exhibition, Lafite Chateau has been ranked first winery, Lafite red wine is characterized by balance, smooth, strong oak flavor in the mouth, very unique. In addition to the signature red wine Lafite, the winery also created a subsidiary brand Los Vasco in Chile, a large number of inexpensive red and white wine production, and actively expand the mass market.

Two, Chateau Latour (Latour Zhuang)

In French, Latour means "tower", if the six or seven decades called, Latuor is equivalent to the "tower brand" (because the winery). Latuor is the equivalent of "Tower" (named for the historic tower in the middle of the winery). Don't make fun of this name, in the minds of many small Bordeaux wine drinkers, it is the king of wines! Because of Latour's robust and uncompromising style, Latour has become the first choice of some wine drinkers who were originally fond of spirits but switched to red wine for health reasons, and Chateau Latour has become one of the most expensive First Growths because of its many drinkers.

Three, Chateau Haut-Brion (Chateau Haut-Brion)

As early as 1855, Chateau Haut-Brion has been well-known, the first-class winery list if it is less than it, the authority to be questioned. Chateau Haut-Brion is now owned by Americans. The estate also produces red wines with a special aroma of earth and minerals belonging to the Graves region, with a strong flavor and a lingering aftertaste. Chateau d'Aubignan in addition to the red wine is well-known, its production of Haut-BrionBlanc white wine is also recognized as one of the top of the small Bordeaux white tartaric acid.

Four, Chateau Margaux (Margaux Chateau)

Margaux is one of the Bordeaux red wine appellations, but also the name of the winery. Can use the appellation as the name of the winery, tartaric acid quality naturally has its strengths, history is also very long. Chateau Margaux is the designated wine for the French state banquet, Chinese President Hu Jintao in Bordeaux, France, when visiting the winery is Chateau Margaux. and at that time the winery to Hu Jintao tasted the wine, it is 1982 Chateau Margaux. mature Chateau Margaux, the wine, the wine, and the wine, and the wine, and the wine. The mature Chateau Margux is smoother on the palate, with complex aromas and, in a good vintage, a floral bouquet of violets. If Latour is the "king" of the Medoc region, then Chateau Margaux is the "queen".

Five, Chateau Mouton Rothschild (Mouton Rothschild)

"Mouton", also known as "Wu-Tang", is the phonetic translation of the French Mouton, which is originally meant to mean The original meaning was "sheep", and the winery was originally a "sheep farm" (based on the fact that the site of the winery was originally a hillside for shepherds to graze their sheep). It was only in 1973 that France made an exception for Chateau Mouton Rothschild to be upgraded to the rank of Premier Cru, and so far it is the only chateau to have been so honored. The owner of Chateau Mouton Rothschild is very business-minded. Not only does he produce millions of bottles of Mouton Cadet annually, but he also invites a world-renowned artist each year to design a label for his "signature wine", Mouton Rothschild, for that year. Because the label itself is of great artistic value, even if the wine is not good, the bottle alone is a precious collector's item. It is said that it costs more than 500,000 RMB to collect a full set of Mouton wines from 1945 to the present. The characteristic of Mouton red wine is that after the bottle is opened, the quality and flavor of the wine changes a lot, usually with coffee and chocolate aroma.

Six, Chateau Cheval Blanc (Cheval Blanc)

Cheval Blanc 1947, in the minds of many professional tasters, is the best wine in Bordeaux in the past 100 years! Cheval Blanc was ranked "Premier Cru Classé" in the 1996 Saint Emilion ranking list, and the label is an elegant gold-on-white label, very much in keeping with the quality of the wine. When young, Cheval Blanc has a grassy green flavor, but as it matures, it takes on a distinctive floral aroma that is balanced and elegant.

Seven, Chateau Ausone (Ausone Chateau)

In the ranking of Saint Emilion wineries in 1996, with the Cheval Blanc at the same level of only one Ausone Chateau. Ausone is also the least recognized of the eight chateaux. In the mid-to-late 1990s, the new owners of the estate revamped the winery and imposed strict requirements on the quality of the wines. All the grapes that do not meet the specifications are used to make the second label wine Second Labet, or are sold to other brewers to make low-grade table wine, so in recent years, the annual production of the signature wine Ausone is less than 2,000 cases, which has become very precious. Ausone's characteristic is that it is resistant to storage, and it needs to age for a long period of time to be able to drink, and the wine's texture is thick and rich, with the aroma of coffee and wooden barrels, very atmospheric.

Eight, Petrus (Petrus Zhuang)

Often before the name of the winery will be crowned with the word Chateau, and Chateau means "old castle" - because most of the French wineries have a beautiful Chateau means "old castle" - because most French chateaux have a beautiful house or chateau. Among the eight major Bordeaux chateaux, only the Chateau Petrus is not labeled Chateau, and the chateau does not have a beautiful house or chateau, but only a hut, and the production of Petrus red wine is also very small, so its price is also the most expensive among the eight major chateaux.
