Chardonnay is one of the most popular white wine grapes in the world, grown in diverse regions from across the northern Hemisphere to the southern tip of Argentina and remote islands off of Australia. Although there are great examples of wines made from Chardonnay from each of these distinct areas, the examples that fetch the highest prices all come from the variety’s home in France.
A new report by Wine-Searcher has revealed the most expensive bottles of Chardonnay this year, and it’s no surprise that all 10 come from the esteemed vineyards of Burgundy. Aside from their appealing roots in the historic and highly-regarded region, these wines are typically produced in very limited quantities. This low supply and high demand has consistently led to ever-rising prices.
