{"product_id":"chateau-bois-mondont-saint-germain-medoc-2016","title":"Chateau Bois Mondont, Saint-Germain Medoc, 2016","description":"This is honest, grounded Médoc, the kind of claret that shows good Bordeaux doesn't need a classified-growth name on the label. Château Bois Mondont is a 15-hectare Cru Bourgeois estate in Saint-Germain-d'Esteuil, in the AOC Médoc on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Its vines grow mostly on clay-limestone. The wine is a blend of two grapes: Merlot for roundness and black fruit, and Cabernet Sauvignon for structure. Since 2013 the estate has had the same owner as Château Castera, owned by Thomas Press, and it's run as a property in its own right with the Castera team's know-how. Castera comes with some excellent trivia: in 1616, Anthoinette de Montaigne, the philosopher's niece and Dame du Castera, signed one of the oldest recorded sales of Médoc wine, and the document is still on display in the estate's square tower. The house aims for a supple, fresh style that drinks well young. A 2016 with a few years in bottle is an easy, unfussy way into traditional Bordeaux.","brand":"TWINS Bordeaux, America [FOV] [TBA]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50979691757625,"sku":"NYC-W-TBA-`LY25-0708-16`-102826-8","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5623.jpg?v=1793379192","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-bois-mondont-saint-germain-medoc-2016","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
