1945 Romanee-Conti (DRC)

$558,000 for a single bottle — the last vintage before the vines were destroyed forever.

This vintage was the last produced before the estate's vines were uprooted due to phylloxera, with only 608 bottles ever made. After replanting, DRC produced no wine for several years, rendering the '45 a literal final harvest from vines that no longer exist.
