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-Madrac (16++); Château Lynch-Mussas; (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 5eme Crus (550-650 Francs per barrel)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52132961288539,"sku":"P-6-111122","price":420.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111122a.jpg?v=1769714601","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/saint-sauveur-haut-medoc-pauillac-bordeaux-vignobles-wine-chateaux-map-1839-p-6-111122","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
