Random information on the term “CRU”:
Cru is a wine term used to indicate a high-quality vineyard or group of vineyards. It is a French word which is traditionally translated as “growth”, as crû is the past participle of the verb “croître” (to grow); it literally means ‘grown’. The term is often used within classifications of French wine. By implication, a wine that displays (or is allowed to display) the name of its cru on its wine label is supposed to exhibit the typical characteristics of this cru. The terms Premier Cru and Grand Cru designate levels of presumed quality that are variously defined in different wine regions.
Premier cru is a French language wine term corresponding to “first growth” and which can be used to refer to classified vineyards, wineries and wines, with different meanings in different wine regions:
Grand cru (French for ‘great growth’) is a regional wine classification that designates a vineyard known for its favorable reputation in producing wine. Although often used to describe grapes, wine or cognac, the term is not technically a classification of wine quality per se, but is intended to indicate the potential of the vineyard or terroir. It is the highest level of classification of Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) wines from Burgundy or Alsace. The same term is applied to châteaux in Saint-Émilion although in that region, it has a different meaning and does not represent the top tier of classification.
