The 10 Most Expensive Wines In the World

The most expensive wines in the world cost a fortune with five-digit sums. Nine of the ten come from Burgundy, as the price comparison network Wine Searcher recently determined. They all have one thing in common: we’ve never tasted them.

This isn’t about wines that you’ll drink so loosely flaky on a regular night. Well at least we don’t know anyone who does. But if someone reads this and does, I would be very happy about an invitation! No, these rare wines are works of art of every wine freak and wine lovers.

What is striking about the top ten is the fact that nine valuables come from Burgundy. In recent years, the price explosion had been quite simply unbelievable. For the ten most expensive examples, the increase compared to the previous year was a whopping 42 %. However, less well-known wineries and locations were also caught up in this pull. Today it has become almost impossible to find quality at reasonable prices in Burgundy.

How much can a bottle of wine cost? This is a highly individual matter. For many, it is the highest of all feelings. Wine freaks sometimes put a three-digit sum on the table to get hold of a particularly coveted vintage. And for those millionaires who don’t have to look at the budget, it is a piece of cake.

Most of the most expensive crus come from the two domains Leroy and d’Auvenay. The legendary winemaker Lalou Bize-Leroy is involved in both. The vineyards, some of which are planted with very old vines, are cultivated bio. The average yield is extremely low. The French only wants to harvest the best grapes, so that little or no intervention is required in the cellar.

Although this was the most expensive wine ever purchased, it is often not included in the lists because the purchase was made at a charity auction. A wealthy donor paid 500,000 for it. Other expensive ones include;

-Red: Musigny Grand Cru, Burgundy

-White: Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, Domaine d’Auvenay

-White: Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Grand Cru
