To an untrained eye, the world’s most valuable wines might look like gilded tokens marketed on scarcity and hype. But behind their embossed labels lies deep history and incredible terroir. “Certain wine-producing properties have a proven track record—a long history of making great wine stretching back in some instances hundreds of years,” explains Christie’s Head of Wine Chris Munro. This history lends the estates their credibility in the midst of vintage variation, making these the wines to invest in even in challenging years.
