What is the only First Growth in Graves?

• A. Chateau Haut Brion
• B. Chateau Lafite-Rothschild
• C. Chateau Margaux
• D. Chateau Latour

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is the unique status of the Graves estate within Bordeaux’s 1855 classification. In that system, Premier Grand Cru Classé (First Growth) designations are tied to specific estates, and Haut-Brion from Graves is the only one in that region to attain the First Growth ranking. The other famous First Growths listed are from the Médoc on the Left Bank, not Graves, so they don’t share that distinction in Graves. So Château Haut-Brion stands as the sole First Growth in Graves, reflecting its long-standing exceptional reputation within that specific appellation.
