After having the infamous Court Of Master Sommeliers exam question come up in two different conversations, one almost reverently, the other in more of a disparaging, put-me-in-my-place kind of way, I decided to look up this information once and for all. Without much luck...
Seriously, if this is such a deep and difficult examination question, don't you think someone *somewhere* would have posted the answer?!?!?
I had no no freaking idea, and finding a clear, concise answer online was like searching for a sane person among a PETA rally. Or the one goth kid at an emo concert. Or something else as ridiculously hard.
All I'm saying, is hooray google maps! I'm not sure how accurate this is, because some of the Chateau had less than clear addresses on their websites.
Anyway, in case you're wondering, from north the south:
- Château Mouton Rothschild
- Château Latour
- Château Margaux
- Château Lafite-Rothschild
- Château Haut Brion
If you *really* want to get dorky, you can mention that there were only 4 Grand Crus in the original 1855 classification, as Château Mouton Rothschild was reclassified from Second Growth status in 1973...
