What is the Chateau Margaux 2009 Balthazar?

Considered one of the finest vintages ever produced by the estate, and undoubtedly one of the best since the Mentzelopoulos family took over the property in 1977, this is the first time that Château Margaux has been bottled as Balthazars. The 12 litre Balthazar, engraved with gold by master craftsmen, is housed in an impressive case of oak and raised on steel legs symbolising the barrels resting in the Château Margaux cellars. Exclusive retailer of fine wines and luxury spirits Le Clos unveiled this unique bottle of red wine, priced at $195,000, and is still on display at brand’s flagship store at Dubai International. Bottled for the first time ever in its 400 year history, only six Balthazars have been produced with only three offered for sale through Le Clos, the only partner selected to offer the Château Margaux Balthazar. Those buyers of this world’s most expensive bottle of red wine, will also get the first class flight to France to visit the first growth’s estate, enjoying a private tour of its cellars and vineyard, before having dinner at the Château hosted by Paul Pontallier, Chief Winemaker and Managing Director of Château Margaux.
