The estates in this category include Château Rauzan-Ségla, Château Rauzan-Gassies, Château Léoville-Las Cases, Château Léoville-Poyferré, Château Léoville Barton, Château Durfort-Vivens, Château Gruaud-Larose, Château Lascombes, Château Brane-Cantenac, Château Pichon Longueville Baron, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Château Cos d'Estournel, and Château Montrose. These wines are globally renowned for their complexity, structure, and remarkable longevity, often offering exceptional value and high quality at a slightly lower price than the Premiers Crus.
