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 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 ''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:J. Robinson (ed.). ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Third Edition. p. 544. Oxford University Press, 2006. . * For Bordeaux wine, the term is applied to classifie ...
