Conseil des vins du Médoc
The size of the vine-growing area and the large number of trade organisations have induced the people in the Médoc to create an official, working body which represents and acts as spokesman for all the wine-producers. This structure has taken the form of an association which plays an essential part in the promotion of Médoc wines both at home and abroad.
