Check the following website:
http://www.medoc-wines.com/index.html
You should be able to find information on each of the chateau you mention, or links that will point you in the right direction.
Ch Clinet is a Pomerol and is not classed. (I should mention that none of the wines from Pomerol are classed and that the producers there seem to like it that way.)
Their wine has a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon which is unusual in this predominately Merlot/Cabernet Franc region.
Ch Calon-Segur is troisiemes crus, for instance.
