Premier Cru Supérieur

Premier Cru Supérieur is a French wine classification indicating a vineyard of exceptional quality, ranked just below the top-tier Premier Cru. The term "Supérieur" signifies that the vineyard has superior qualities or higher standards compared to standard Premier Cru appellations. This designation highlights the vineyard's reputation for producing wines of notable complexity, elegance, and aging potential. It is a respected mark within the hierarchical system of Burgundy wines, emphasizing the vineyard’s distinguished status without suggesting it surpasses the highest classifications like Grand Cru.
