Bottles of the world’s most expensive red wine,
the Chateau Margaux 2009, have been scheduled to go on sale in Dubai.
The limited edition 12-litre bottle of Chateau
Margaux 2009 comes with an eye-watering price tag of N31million
A mere six Balthazars, meaning 12-litre
bottle, of the exclusive tipple have been produced, with only three of those
set to go on sale.
The wine is produced at the Chateau Margaux
vineyard in the Midoc region of France, just north of Bordeaux.
The wine is currently
on show at wine merchant Le Clos’ flagship store at Dubai International
Airport.
The Balthazars are
housed in an ornate oak case, while the bottle itself has been beautifully
engraved with gold by master craftsmen.
Although the wine will
put a serious dent in any oenophile’s pocket, buyers get a number of other
perks for their money.
They will be flown first class to France to
visit the Chateau Margaux estate, where they will enjoy a private tour of its
cellars and vineyard, before sitting down to dinner with the chief winemaker.
