Mr. François Nony, Vice President, Alliance des Crus Bourgeois du Médoc
Since 2002, the Alliance des Crus Bourgeois du Médoc has had an annual average of over 260
members. The Alliance brings together about one quarter of the properties in the Médoc (registered
with the Fédération des Grands Vins de Bordeaux and corresponding to about 5,500 hectares of
vines), and one third of the Médoc’s wine-producing area. The Crus Bourgeois form a big family that
brings together vineyards with widely differing profiles, and very different terroirs (eight prestigious
AOCs : Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Listrac-Médoc, Moulis en Médoc, Margaux, Saint Julien, Pauillac and
Saint Estèphe), led by a variety of producers, many of whom have their origins in the Médoc, but who
also come from other countries and regions, bringing dynamism and new ideas.
