Fine wine and luxury spirit retailer Le Clos, located at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport, has achieved an in-house milestone with the sale of its oldest and most exclusive bottle of wine ever sold through the store.

The bottle in question, a magnum of Château Latour 1947, is “almost unique in the market”, according to a company spokesperson — not only due to its age, but also its collectability as one of the finest wines ever produced.

Then spokesperson added: “This sale demonstrates that despite the current economic uncertainty, visitors to Dubai International Airport are still looking for high quality premium opportunities.”
