The world's most expensive Bordeaux of the year is expected to cost 30,000 euros - per bottle. It is produced by the visionary as well as controversial Liber Pater winery in Graves, whose owner and winemaker Loïc Pasquet has dedicated himself to the taste of wine before the Bordeaux classification in 1855. He produces exclusively with ungrafted vines of long-forgotten varieties. The soon to be released Liber Pater 2015 will only be produced in a quantity of 550 bottles in amphorae, of which Pascquet intends to put 240 bottles on sale. The others will remain in the winery.
Liber Pater is only released in very good vintages in a maximum quantity of 1,200 bottles. In 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, Pasquet did not have any wine filled. Pascquet named the price of 30,000 euros at the request of Wine Searcher. The average price of the world's most expensive wine to date, Romanée Conti, was just under 18,000 euros in recent years.
