It&#8217;s time to find out which wine will be the most expensive in the world in 2022!  <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>France, a safe bet for wine<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While France is known the world over as the country of gastronomy and fine wine, other countries also produce fine vintages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, only a handful of countries still own &#8220;exceptional&#8221; wines. France ranks among the best, with 8 out of 10 of the world&#8217;s most expensive, and therefore most luxurious, crus.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More precisely, <a href=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/les-grands-vins-de-bourgogne\/\">Burgundy<\/a> wines dominate the ranking (Domaine Leroy and Roman\u00e9e Conti).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Germany also stands out in the ranking, with 2 bottles out of 10. Following this, the United States are in 11th place with Screaming Eagle (Cabernet Sauvignon).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>The lucky winner<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No.1 is obviously a French wine, and more specifically a Burgundian one: Roman\u00e9e Conti Grand Cru du Domaine de la Roman\u00e9e Conti vintage 1945.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">France is known the world over for its exceptional wines and rich, varied terroir. (So it&#8217;s no surprise that 8 out of 10 of the world&#8217;s best wines are French, and are snapped up all over the planet).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sold for \u20ac14,173, it fetched an exorbitant \u20ac482,000 at auction.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This cru was bottled only 600 times in 1945. So it&#8217;s rarity that justifies the price, but not only that!  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15941 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/24_14_0-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/24_14_0-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/24_14_0-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/24_14_0-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/24_14_0.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Produced in Burgundy, it is renowned the world over for its prestige. So it was in an overexcited atmosphere that this wine attracted all the attention in the auction room. Connoisseurs know it well: they won&#8217;t have the opportunity to buy this kind of bottle twice. It sold for \u20ac482,000 ($558,000).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of taste, this Roman\u00e9e Conti Grand Cru du Domaine de la Roman\u00e9e Conti vintage 1945 is as powerful as it is fine. Velvety tannins are enhanced by a complex aromatic bouquet that literally explodes on the palate. Notes of flowers, sweet spices and wild fruits, but also a  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hint of menthol is perceptible on the nose and on tasting. Harmonious, smooth and silky, this vintage stands out from the estate&#8217;s other red wines for its extraordinary taste qualities.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>The estate<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The position of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twil.fr\/france\/bourgogne\/romanee-conti.html\">Roman\u00e9e-Conti<\/a> vineyard is ideal and renowned in Burgundy for its ability to produce exceptional red wines. The estate is located near the village of Vosne-Roman\u00e9e and has been cultivated with vines since the Middle Ages under the name of Abbaye Saint-Vivant de Vosne. It was renamed Roman\u00e9e in 1631 after its purchase by the de Croonembourg family.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the land was sold to Prince Conti, who attached his name to that of the property (which became Roman\u00e9e-Conti). The estate is still entirely classified as a Grand Cru, and the red wines are made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The business is now run by Aubert de Villaine and Henri-Frederic<\/span> Roch.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"round-link-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/best-wine-in-the-world-2022\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Best wine in the world 2022<\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space]Array[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_tablet=&#8221;true&#8221; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1587718696889{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"best_offers_js\" data-cepage=\"\" data-magentoid=\"2656\" data-title=\"Meilleurs vins : The world&#8217;s most expensive wine in 2022\" data-type=\"producer\" data-limit=\"2\" data-id=\"1172\" data-display=\"vertical\"><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space]<div class='shortcode-x-offerts'><div class='shortcode-x-offers-block'><strong>10 \u20ac offerts sur votre premi\u00e8re commande !<\/strong><div>Achetez vos vins en vente priv\u00e9e sur Twil.
