Chateau d'Yquem 1811
The 1811 comet vintage — a 200-year-old half-bottle of dessert wine that sold for $117,000.
A half-bottle of Chateau d'Yquem 1811 sold at Acker Merrall & Condit in 2011 for $117,000, the highest price ever for a dessert wine half-bottle. As the only Premier Cru Superieur property, it produces about 85,000 half-bottles annually of intensely sweet Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The 1811 vintage, coinciding with the Great Comet, is among the oldest auctioned wines.
