The online platform wine-searcher has published the current ranking of the ten most expensive champagnes. Dom Pérignon P3 Plénitude Brut Rosé is at the top with an average retail price of 5,051 euros. In the 2020 ranking, this champagne still cost 2,208 euros and was in fifth place. The white Dom Pérignon P3 Plénitude Brut variant follows in second place with 4,837 euros (2020: 2,452 euros). Third place went to the Louis Roederer Cristal "Gold Medalion" Orfevres Limited Edition Brut Millesimé at 3,894 euros. Its gold-embellished bottle was designed by Philippe Di Méo.
It is followed by Krug Clos d'Ambonnay Blanc de Noirs Brut at 2,483 euros, Dom Pérignon Oenotheque Rosé (2,750 euros), Bollinger RD Extra Brut "Spectre" James Bond 007 Edition (2,617 euros), Jacques Selosse Millésimé, the first vintner champagne (2.467 euros), Dom Pérignon Cuvée Réserve de L'Abbaye (2,318 euros), Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut (2,149 euros) and Louis Roederer Cristal Vinothèque Edition Brut Rosé Millésimé at 2,074 euros.
What is striking is not only the dominance of Dom Pérignon, but that the prices of almost all of the top 10 prestige champagnes have increased by at least half in three years, and some have even doubled.
