A CNN Chat with Champagne Expert Ed McCarthy :
Question from Lorenzo: What's the most expensive Champagne out there?
Ed McCarthy: You know, it keeps going up and up. The most expensive Champagne that I know of is Krug's Clos du Mesnil. It's a Champagne made from a single vineyard, and it's what we call a blanc de blancs, made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. The price starts at $300 to $350. So that's the most expensive Champagne when it's released, as far as I know. Of course, older Champagnes could go higher that that. Roederer Cristal from say 10 to 15 years ago would be even more expensive.

That interview is pretty old, but I'm sure you can see what I'm saying. For one thing, an $800 bottle of chamagne is very hard to find. For another, I doubt this guy has ever seen one, much less gone out with friends drinking it.
