The online platform wine-searcher.com has published its ranking of the current ten most expensive Bordeaux. With an ex aequo ranking, there are eleven wines. The dominance of the right bank is striking: four wines come from Pomerol, including the first three places, which seems remarkable insofar as this appellation is the only one in Bordeaux that does not attach importance to a classification.
At the top is Petrus (Pomerol) with 4,481 euros, in second place Le Pin (Pomerol) with 3,842 euros, in third place the Saute-Loup Reserve de la Famille (Pomerol) produced by Petrus with 1,643 euros. It is followed by Château Angelus Hommage à Elisabeth BBouchet Saint-Émilion) at 1,504 euros, Château Lafleur (Pomerol) at 1,021 euros and in sixth place the first wine from the Left Bank: Château Lafite Rothschild (Pauillac) at 926 euros. Behind it, the only white wine in the ranking, Château Haut-Brion Blanc (Pessac-Léognan) at 880 euros, then Château Latour (Pauillac) at 774 euros and Château Margaux (Margaux) at 743 euros. Tenth place is shared by the Saint-Émilion châteaux Cheval Blanc and Ausone at 731 euros each.
According to wine-searcher.com, the worldwide average price for a bottle of simple red Bordeaux is 14 euros, for Saint-Émilion 86 euros, for Pomerol 90 euros and for Pauillac 203 euros.
The most expensive traded wine from Bordeaux is not represented in the ranking: the Liber Pater from Graves with an average price of 4,066 euros, with the 2015 vintage trading around 40,600 euros. Since it is not produced according to the rules of the appellation, the Liber Pater is called Vin de France.
