Wines made in the Bordeaux region of France have a wide range of quality, from table wine to some of the most expensive wines in the world. Of course, fine wine doesn’t just fall out of the sky—which is where the world’s most expensive grapes come in.
Called Premier Grand Cru—the “best of the first growth”—these grapes are used in some of the most renowned wines in the world, such as Château Ausone and Château Cheval Blanc. They are grown only two of Bordeaux’s thirty-six districts—Medoc and St. Emilion.
While other vines in the Bordeaux region can be priced at around $25,000 to $40,000 per hectare, a hectare of the most expensive grapes in the world comes in at no less than $1.65 million. The next most expensive grapes in the world are Chianti grapes, which can be had for up to $345,000.
