01) Chateau Lafite Rothchild -
History: The quality of Château Lafite Rothschild needs no introduction. As early as 1815, Abraham Lawton had already designated it as leader: 'I ranked it as being the most elegant and delicate, with the finest body of the three (leading wines)' he qualified in 1855. As to Château Lafite's attributes found in all vintages, it was an enlightened amateur that summed it up best by saying '...whatever the case, all the Château Lafite wines have an almond and violet aroma!'
02) Chateau Latour -
History: At the end of the 14th century, the Mullet family reassembled the lands of this domaine. The tower, which overlooks the vineyards and the Gironde, was used by the English to fend off attacks by pirates. In 1695 Alexander de Segur, proprietor of Calon and Lafite, married Marie-Therese de Clausel who brought in her dowry the domaine of Latour. The descendants of their only son, the Marquis de Segur, founded the first Civile Agricole thus avoiding the dangers of the division of the vineyard. In 1963, two English groups purchased 76% of the shares from the shareholders and heirs of the Marquis. Chateau Latour was purchased by Francois Pinault, the current owner, in 1993.
03) Chateau Margaux -
History: Chateau Margaux was founded in the 1400's. Once the residence of Edward III, King of England, it was one of the most stately fortified chateaux in Guyenne. Over the centuries, the property changed ownership several times. In 1804, the Marquis of La Colonilla acquired the property, razed the old Gothic manor-house and built in its place the chateau which still stands today.
04) Chateau Haut-Brion -
History: The only first-growth to be American owned and Bordeaux's first internationally acclaimed winemaking estate. Chateau Haut Brion dates back to 1525 when Jean de Pontac married Jeanne de Bellon who brought to him in her dowry the land of Haut Brion. Illustrious owners have marked Haut Brion for more than four centuries: admirals, an archbishop, a Grand Marshal of France, a Governor of Guyenne, three mayors of Bordeaux, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord (at the time he was Minister of Relations for the Consulate) and more recently the Ambassador of the United States in Paris, Clarence Douglas Dillon, who was also Minister of Finance in the U.S. when J.F. Kennedy was president. Today, the Duchess de Mouchy, granddaughter of Clarence Dillon, is chairperson of the public limited company of 'Domaine Clarence Dillon'. In the 1960's, Haut Brion was the first of the great growths to innovate with new stainless steel fermentation vats.
05) Chateau Mouton-Rothschild -
History: Mouton has few peers in the length and luster of its history. The famous Barons de Brane owned the already well known vineyard in the 18th and early 19th centuries when it was known as Chateau Brane-Mouton. It was purchased by Nathaniel de Rothschild of London in 1853 who renamed it to Chateau Mouton Rothschild, and is now owned by Philippine de Rothschild, his great-great granddaughter. Mouton always in the forefront of the greatest wines of Bordeaux, was the first estate to begin complete chateau-bottling of the harvest -- an historic step initiated in 1924 by the late Philippe de Rothschild. It is the only chateau in the Medoc Classification of 1855 to achieve reclassification. In 1973, it was finally moved from a second growth to a first. In 1926, he commissioned architect Charles Sicils to build the famous 'Grand Chai'. In 1962, Philippe de Rothschild created, with his wife Pauline, the Museum of Wine and Art, in which is displayed a priceless collection of exhibits relating to wine and the vine, from the dawn of civilization up to modern times.
