Each year, Champagne fans, collectors, and luxury wine buyers turn to Wine-Searcher’s global average retail prices (GARP) to track the most prestigious and expensive bottles of bubbles.
The 2025 ranking is in—and while familiar names dominate the list, price trends reveal a shift in momentum.
Four legendary houses—Dom Pérignon, Krug, Louis Roederer, and Bollinger—continue their reign. Alongside them stands Jacques Selosse, the relatively young yet intensely cult Blanc de Blancs producer, known for its oxidative, terroir-driven style.
While prestige remains intact, a notable observation this year is that prices, in most cases, are holding steady or even declining—signaling a potential cooling in the ultra-luxury Champagne segment.
Let’s look at the top 10 most expensive Champagnes of 2025 by Wine-Searcher, ranked by global average retail price in USD and EUR:
1. Dom Pérignon P3 Plénitude Brut
- USD 5225 | EUR 4442
-
Score: 96/100
Rising to the top spot with a price increase from last year, this wine represents the apex of Dom Pérignon’s ageing philosophy—intensely layered, powerful, and rare.
2. Dom Pérignon P3 Plénitude Brut Rosé
- USD 4991 | EUR 4195
-
Score: 94/100
Though it dropped in price from last year’s ranking, it retains its silver medal. A collector’s rosé with a velvety mouthfeel and considerable cellar potential.
3. Krug Clos d’Ambonnay Blanc de Noirs Brut
- USD 3527 | EUR 2998
-
Score: 96/100
Made entirely from Pinot Noir grown in the tiny walled Clos d’Ambonnay vineyard, this bold and rare Champagne has climbed both in rank and price.
4. Louis Roederer Cristal 'Gold Medallion' Orfèvres Limited Edition Brut Millésime
-
USD 3014 | EUR 2564
A true showpiece, blending art and craftsmanship. Surprisingly, its price has decreased despite climbing the ranks.
5. Jacques Selosse Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut
- USD 2811 | EUR 2254
-
Score: 95/100
This cult wine enters the list strong with its oxidative profile and uncompromising terroir expression.
6. Dom Pérignon Réserve de L’Abbaye
-
USD 2356 | EUR 2005
Once absent from last year's list, it reappears after a price dip, reinforcing its allure among mature Champagne lovers.
7. Louis Roederer Cristal Vinothèque Edition Brut Rosé Millésimé
- USD 2324 | EUR 1973
-
Score: 96/100
Extended lees ageing defines this rosé of complexity and finesse. A small climb in both rank and price this year.
8. Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut 'Spectre' James Bond 007 Edition
-
USD 2315 | EUR 1970
A fan favorite, this cinematic special-edition Bollinger has seen a steep price drop from last year—perhaps even 007 can't escape market corrections.
9. Jacques Selosse Millésime
- USD 2256 | EUR 1920
-
Score: 95/100
With a slight dip in price and rank, Selosse’s vintage expression remains one of Champagne’s most enigmatic and age-worthy wines.
10. Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut
- USD 2221 | EUR 1896
-
Score: 96/100
Another single-vineyard gem from Krug, this one from Chardonnay vines, returns to the list with a slightly reduced price from its 2023 showing.
Trends and Takeaways
- Only three wines have seen price increases this year.
- Five wines dropped in price—some significantly.
- Two new entries (Jacques Selosse Blanc de Blancs & Dom Pérignon Réserve de L’Abbaye) replaced last year’s listings.
- All critic scores remain stable at the top end, signaling consistent quality.
This year’s top ten reminds us that prestige, age, and scarcity still command a premium. But even Champagne has its ceiling—whether due to inflation fatigue, shifting global demand, or recalibrated market priorities.
Still, in the world of wine, few things speak louder than bubbles—and these ten labels continue to define aspirational luxury.
