“五大名莊”隻是曆史上的一個說法。它產生於1855年的分類。隻是它隻評選了 Medoc 地區的酒莊，連同為 Left Bank 的 Graves 地區的酒莊都不在列， 更不用說在 Right Bank 的 Saint-Emilion. 現在，各個有名的地區都有自己的評選和分類係統。
There are many differences in wine making and labeling between France and USA. For example, it is commonly regarded that blended wines are of low quality in USA. So the grapes are clearly labeled, like Merlot, Pinot Noir, etc. It is quite different for French. They think it is an art to blend wines from different grapes to achieve perfect tastes, aroma, feels, etc. For example, many of those from Chateau Lafite are a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
If you are into Cabernet Sauvignon, choose the wines from Medoc and Graves region in the Left Bank. For Merlot and Cabernet Franc, choose those from Right Bank, like Saint-Emilion. For white wines, try those made of Semillon. It is hard to find them in USA.
