How has this ranking evolved?
In 2019, Mouton Rothschild has overtaken its neighbor, Lafite. The Château Lafite Rothschild still tops the list of the most sought-after wines of all time, but the gap is gradually closing.
Only three candidates are likely to make it into the top 10 most sought-after wines of all time. The illustrious Domaine de la Romanée-Conti currently occupies 11th position, and is challenging Opus One to replace it. Cheval Blanc in the near future. Lynch-Bages5th Grand Cru, is neck and neck with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, although it is not gaining ground in the top 10 as quickly as its rival. The third contender is none other than Sassicaia, currently in 15th position overall but 6th in the 2019 rankings. He is ahead of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Haut-Brion and Latour this year. There's a good chance he'll feature in the top 10 in the years to come.
