From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A wine producer is a term that usually denotes a vine-growing, wine-making estate including its winery. While in the English language, terms such as "estate", "winery", "vineyards", "cellars" are often attached to a wine producer's name, various other terms are applied in the different global wine regions.

Only five of the original 79 properties in the Medoc, Graves, and Sauternes listed in the 1855 classification were at that time styled with the title château.[7][8] By French law, the word Chateau may be used only of a specified plot of land.[7]

Some estates previously named château have changed to domaine in modern times.[6]
