Classed growth in Bordeaux question...

We're currently studying Bordeaux, France on our blog, http://www.weheartwine.com. I've found their quality control system to be pretty confusing even after reading quite a bit about it. My main question is which (left bank) system is currently being used, The official classification of 1855, the Cru Bourgeois system or both? The right bank system also seems to have a ton of controversy. I'm curious how much credibility these rating systems are given among the wine community? Is it a dependable rating or all politics and nepotism? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Please visit our blog and comment as you'd like! http://www.weheartwine.com

The 1855 Classification of the Medoc is still very important to most Bordeaux drinkers and reflects prices. Although there have been many changes, the 1st growths are still at the summit and mostlythe others are in the same position.

The Bourgeois classification means nothingto me and I don't think it affects anyones buying choices.
