Dubai airport shop sells rarest wines
Dubai’s International airport has opened a new store selling some of the world’s rarest wines duty free.
Le Clos encompasses two outlets in the airport’s Terminal 3, the largest airport terminal in the world. Inside, customers can choose from the likes of Château Pétrus 1947 for £7,625 a bottle, Château Cheval Blanc 1961 magnum for £9,607 and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2005 at £16,945.
The stores will also offer a selection of Californian icons such as Screaming Eagle, Opus One and Harlan Estate.
In addition to the eye-wateringly expensive wines, Le Clos, with its 400-strong range, sells a variety wines from Australia, Chile, France, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa and the US.
Le Clos also sells spirits including a 40-year-old single malt. And for those looking for something more esoteric, there’s always the £76,250 Dom Pérignon guitar case.
