On March 28, 2026, at Acker's three-day La Paulee auction in New York, a single bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti sold for $812,500, becoming the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold at auction and smashing the previous record of $558,000 set by another bottle from the very same vintage back in 2018. The bottle came from the historic cellar of former DRC co-owner Robert Drouhin and was one of only roughly 600 bottles ever produced of the 1945 vintage, the last harvest from DRC's original pre-phylloxera vines before the domaine was forced to rip them out and replant in 1947. Acker chairman John Kapon, who has personally driven several of the world's top wine auction records, called it the greatest wine that I have ever tasted. The broader three-day sale grossed more than $25 million and set 460 individual auction records, underscoring just how much money is still chasing trophy Burgundy even as parts of the broader fine-wine investment market have cooled over 2025-2026. Critics point out that a wine this old is essentially undrinkable as a beverage and functions purely as a speculative collectible, while skeptics also flag the notorious risk of counterfeiting in a market where provenance can rarely be fully verified.
