{"product_id":"chateau-branaire-ducru-saint-julien-2001","title":"Chateau Branaire-Ducru, Saint-Julien, 2000","description":"Branaire-Ducru files its 2000 under \"Legendary,\" and that's the château's own word for it. Twenty-five years on, this bottle shows you what the label means. It wasn't an easy year. An unstable, especially wet spring had growers worried until the sun came out in May and stayed through June. Very hot, dry spells in July and August calmed everyone's nerves, and summer heat in September made for ideal picking. The estate sits in Saint-Julien, between Margaux and Pauillac, with vines planted in gravel and pebbles the Garonne left behind. That gravel makes it one of the warmest sites in the region, and that pays off in a year that finished with this much sun. The house says its style is built on fruit, freshness and elegance, and its verdict on the 2000 is a big, spicy wine that's still firm and can keep for several decades. So there's no hurry, but if you've been looking for a great Bordeaux vintage with real age on it, this is a very good place to start.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047936065593,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-49-13","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Branaire-Ducru-Saint-Julien-2000-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_39a016bd.jpg?v=1793696457","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-branaire-ducru-saint-julien-2001","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
