What the land adds to a bottle

What a bottle costs to make →

If the vineyard were sold and the money put in the bank, this is what it would earn each year, spread over the bottles the land produces. It is the biggest line in the cost of a famous wine.

The bar is the land’s share of the whole cost of making the bottle, at the high end of each estimate.
