The Most Expensive Wines in the World - Wine-Searcher 2012

The Wine-Searcher issued a list of – according to its data base - the top 50 most expensive wines in the world. Prices are as at mid-2013, based on average prices for a standard 750ml bottle, across all vintages. Information is drawn from the Wine Searcher database of more than 40,000 price lists.

The top 10 is heavily dominated by wines from Burgundy, France, which represented 8 of the 10, with the remaining two both coming from Mosel, Germany. In fact, of the top 50, as many as 37 are from Burgundy (and 31 of these are from Cote de Nuits).

Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru, produced in Cote de Nuits, has claimed the title of most expensive wine in the world. Henri Jayer, the legendary winemaker, completely stopped producing wine after his retirement in 1995. His wines became even rarer since his death in 2006.

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru, also Cote de Nuits, ranks second, followed by Egon Muller-Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from Germany's Mosel Valley.

Two prices are shown. Both are in US$. The first one is the average price and the second one is the maximum price.
