Liber Pater

For the past five years, Burgandy’s Romanée-Conti Grand Cru has held the title as the world’s most expensive wine, commanding a whopping $20,510 per bottle. But Bordeaux is about to snatch that honor, with a wine that eclipses that price tag by $13,000. Loïc Pasquet, the man behind Liber Pater, has just announced that each bottle of the 2015 vintage will cost $34,110, more than eight times the price of the estate’s current vintage, which averages about $4,200 per bottle. The release, which will drop in September, is limited to just 550 bottles—only 240 of which will be sold; the rest will be cellared and a few kept for his daughter.
