The 10 most expensive bottles of wine in the world

1. Domaine Leroy – Chambertin Grand Cru – Cote de Nuits, France

Average price per bottle: £3,172

Most expensive vintage: 1990, £5,512 per bottle

Leroy’s Chambertin is second only to her Musigny. Her annual production is just 16 hectolitres per hectare – whereas the regional norm within Burgundy is closer to 40. Production levels for Chambertin are estimated to be between 750 and 900 bottles per year in most vintages.

With her global cache increasing year on year, it is not surprising to see Madame Leroy feature three times in the top 10 list.
