The Top 5 Most Expensive Champagnes in the World

5 Most Expensive Champagnes in the World – There are numerous champagnes on the market, but only some are of the highest quality, and only some are expensive as well. If you are looking to purchase an expensive champagne that goes above and beyond in quality and taste, then we suggest you read this article and find out about the 5 most expensive champagne in the world!

Number 1. Krug Grande Cuvée

Pronounced Krug, Krug Grande Cuvée is arguably one of (if not THE) best-tasting champagnes on Earth. In fact, renowned wine and spirits expert F. Paul Pacult describes it as one of life’s true extravagances and an authentic experience. Krug Grande Cuvée takes 1,500 years to produce – that’s how long it takes for just one bottle to age from vineyards to cellars. It’s definitely worth its weight in gold: a 750ml bottle will set you back $2,300! However, some argue that Krug Grande Cuvée is actually worth more than gold due to its incredible taste and price…

Number 2. Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades)

$300 – $1,700 for a 750ml bottle. Armand de Brignac is actually a high-end brand under an even more exclusive brand known as Chandon. The Ace of Spades champagne comes in at number two with a price tag that’s actually pretty low compared to most of our other selections. This champagne is an American bubbly made from California chardonnay, Pinot noir and Pinot Meunier grapes grown on locations throughout Napa Valley, Oregon and Washington State. It offers flavors of green apple and apricot with a clean, crisp finish. Some say it tastes like Asti spumante due to its fruity nature while others claim they can detect notes of figs.

Number 3. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label

$173.66 per bottle $853.32 per case Veuve Clicquot is undoubtedly one of France’s finest champagne houses, and its most famous product, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is no exception to that rule. This champagne is considered by many to be a benchmark in its price class, being perhaps one of best values available at just $3 over our $150 cutoff. It has a strong sense of fruitiness as well as a pleasing acidity that adds an extra kick to what is already an outstanding drink. You can really taste how special each sip really is when you take it with dessert or even mixed into your favorite cocktail!

Number 4. Dom Pérignon Rose 2006

$1695. This extremely expensive champagne is made from 30% pinot noir, 55% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier grapes. Its taste is fruity and spicy. Its color is light pink with golden highlights and it has an excellent longevity. In 2012, The Wine Cellar Insider selected it as one of the most outstanding champagnes on Earth. The wine bottle was designed by company’s artistic director Pierre-Yves Rochon. It won a number of awards including gold medal at The Decanter World Wine Awards 2010 and Chardonnay Trophy at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2011 competition.

Number 5. Salon

When it comes to uber-expensive champagnes, Salon stands alone. Named after King Louis XIV’s estate and created by Moet & Chandon, Salon is one of only a few champagne producers that consistently sell bottles for upwards of $50,000 (USD). Sure, such a price is steep for any drink. But for something that can take up to 15 years to make – bottle aging involves infusing their juice with hints of perfumed roses – its value is undeniable. Fortunately for mere mortals like us, Salon is still widely available at auction houses around the world and can even be bought directly from distributors. How else would we afford those year-long waiting lists?
