Definitely the best Merlot in the world is Chateau Petrus from Bordeaux. New releases are only about $800-1000 a bottle. Older vintages will cost you up to $20,000 a bottle, depending on the vintage. That’s definitely your best bet. A close second is Masseto from Tuscany. It’ll only cost you $400 a bottle, so it’s good for casual company, quick lunches and picnics, etc.
