The wines of Graves in the wine-growing region of Bordeaux were classified in 1953 by a jury appointed by the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine, and approved by the Minister of Agriculture in August of that year. The selection was revised with a few additions in February 1959. The classification concerns both red and white wines, and all chateaux belong to the appellation Pessac-Léognan, which eventually came into effect on September 9, 1987.[1]
