{"title":"Le Producteur","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Producteur, Journal des Intérêts Spéciaux de la Propriété Vignoble du Département de la Gironde was a short-lived Bordeaux-based specialist wine-trade journal published between 1838 and 1841, printed by the Imprimerie de Subverinck, rue Marchande. Established to represent the commercial and economic interests of vineyard proprietors in the Gironde, it addressed viticulture, production yields, pricing structures, and export markets. Published during the proto-classification period of Bordeaux wine history—decades before the official 1855 Classification—the journal articulated wine quality and estate reputation through comparative price data, estate hierarchies, and geographical distinctions. By recording and systematising market knowledge already in use among merchants, Le Producteur provides a rare pre-1855 documentary record of the proto-classifications and reputations that were later formalised in the 1855 Classification. Today it stands as an important source for understanding early Bordeaux wine economics and classification thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"queyrac-gaillan-medoc-bordeaux-vignobles-wine-chateaux-map-la-tour-de-by-1839-p-6-111124","title":"Queyrac \u0026 Gaillan—Médoc—Bordeaux vignobles\/wine chateaux map—La Tour de By 1839","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e'Carte des Communes de Queyrac et Gaillan, indiquant leurs villages et leurs principaux vignobles'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA mid-19th-century Bordeaux wine map belonging to the proto-classification period, preceding the formal 1855 Classification.

The map is accompanied by text describing wine production within the area shown, including output by producer, a proto-classification of estates, and the price ranges associated with each category. Early wine identities are recorded through the naming of châteaux and numerous lieux-dits—traditional, locally recognised place-names—some of which later emerged as recognised crus, giving the map particular historical significance. At the date of publication there was no official hierarchy of growths; instead, wine quality was understood through geography, estate reputation, and—above all—price. Bordeaux merchants maintained detailed price lists, and it was this long-established market evidence that later formed the basis of the 1855 Classification, which codified existing practice rather than creating it.. The map names several notable estates, including Château Haut Brion (20); Château La Mission Haut Brion (19.5); Château Pape Clement (19) (the accompanying figures indicate the highest recent scores awarded to each château by noted wine critic Jancis Robinson). The text discusses classifications and prices including Premier Cru (Haut Brion, 2,400 to 3,000 Francs per barrel), Seconds Crus (500-1,000 Francs), 3eme Crs (350-500 Francs), 4eme Crus (300-450 Francs) \u0026amp; 5eme Crus (250-400 Francs)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52409178358107,"sku":"P-6-111127","price":1260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111127a_dcd65659-bfd0-4604-8151-04f6a7131160.jpg?v=1771442663"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/le-producteur.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
