Which classification system was established in 1932, abolished and then brought back again?

• A. Cru Bourgeois
• B. Grand Cru Classe
• C. Premier Cru
• D. Vin de Bordeaux

Answer: (A)

Cru Bourgeois is the Bordeaux classification created in 1932 to recognize quality among Médoc wines that were not part of the 1855 Grand Cru Classé list. It was later abolished and then reintroduced with a revised system in the 2000s, making it the only option here that fits the pattern of established, then abolished, and then brought back. The Grand Cru Classe designation comes from the 1855 ranking and hasn’t followed that same cycle. Premier Cru is a term more closely tied to Burgundy, while Vin de Bordeaux is a broad wine designation, not a formal classification.
