Fine Wine Over £500 — The Absolute Pinnacle of French Wine

Above £500, fine wine enters a category where scarcity, prestige, and genuine quality converge at their most extreme. These are wines discussed at the highest levels of the collector community, traded on the secondary market, and appearing at the world's most exceptional dining experiences.

The Wines in This Category

Romanée-Conti — the world's most sought-after and expensive wine. A single hectare of Grand Cru Pinot Noir in Vosne-Romanée, producing around 6,000 bottles per vintage. Prices typically range from £10,000 to £30,000+ per bottle on the secondary market.

La Tâche (DRC) — the DRC's second most famous wine, 6 hectares producing extraordinary Pinot Noir. Prices typically £1,500–£5,000+ per bottle.

Richebourg (DRC) — alongside La Tâche, one of the DRC's greatest wines. £1,000–£3,000+ per bottle.

Le Pin (Pomerol) — 3 hectares of Merlot in Pomerol, typically just 500–700 cases per vintage. Among the most sought-after wines in Bordeaux.
