What the French?

I knew that the prices for the big chateaux were going to be crazy but this is insane!  Who can afford this stuff?

Margaux - $1275/btl
Palmer - $495/btl
Lafite Rothschild - $1275/btl
Latour - $1375/btl
Mouton Rothschild - $1275/btl
Haut-Brion - $1395/btl
La Mission Haut-Brion - $1249/btl

The only one worth getting is the Malescot-St. Exupery @ $135/btl.  Good score and excellent aging potential.

So I'm officially out when it comes to 2009 Bordeaux Futures.  At these prices, it's just not worth it.  I believe it's a great vintage - no question.  But I don't believe these will double in value in 10 yrs.  Even if it does, it's not worth the investment anymore.  The 2005 vintage was just as great and I'll bet the wines from that year are much cheaper than what they are offering for the 2009.
