£122,000 world's most expensive red wine

Only six of the Chateau Margaux 2009 Balthazars have been made and come with gold engravings in an ornate oak case

The world’s most expensive red wine priced at £122,380 for a 12-litre bottle has gone on display in Dubai.

Only six of the Chateau Margaux 2009 Balthazars have been made and come with gold engravings in an ornate oak case.

Just three of those will go on sale.

But the buyers will be flown first class to the vineyard in the Medoc region of France for a tour and dinner.

Paul ­Pontallier, chief winemaker, said: “Chateau Margaux’s history stretches back over 400 years.

"During that time the estate has produced some of the world’s best wines time and again.

"The 2009 vintage is one of the finest we have ever produced, hence why we chose to bottle it in this magnificent format.”

The wine is on show at wine merchant Le Clos’s ­flagship store at Dubai ­International Airport.
