Which classifications are used in Bordeaux wines?

The correct classification for Bordeaux wines includes the terms Premier Grand Cru A, Premier Grand Cru B, Appellations, and Regional (AOP).

In Bordeaux, the classification system is primarily known for its Cru wines, which denote the quality and prestige of certain vineyards. The most recognized system, which was formally established in 1855, identifies the Premier Grand Cru classé (First Growth) wines, with Premier Grand Cru A denoting the highest-ranking estates, such as Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Margaux. Premier Grand Cru B represents other top estates that are highly regarded but are ranked slightly lower.

Appellations refer to the various wine regions and designations within Bordeaux, which are crucial for determining the geographic origin and regulations governing the wines produced there. Furthermore, the term Regional (usually in the context of AOP, or Appellation d'Origine Protégée) indicates wines produced in broader regions, adhering to regulations for quality and characteristics aligned with specific geographic areas.

Other options do not accurately reflect the recognized classification system or include terminology that is not pertinent to Bordeaux wines. The use of terms like "Grand Cru" and "Village" may relate to other wine regions, like Burgundy, but does not apply to the
