{"product_id":"chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-1975-under-shoulder-fill","title":"Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, 1975 (under shoulder fill)","description":"Here's a chance to drink Grand-Puy-Lacoste from before the Borie era. The 1975 was made under Raymond Dupin, three vintages before he chose Jean-Eugène Borie as the estate's buyer in 1978 and François-Xavier Borie was given the job of waking up a \"sleeping beauty.\" Before the Bories, the estate had passed down within one lineage going back to the 16th century, so this bottle comes from the last years of that long chapter. The name comes from \"puy,\" an old word for a hill: the vines sit on a ridge about twenty metres above sea level, just west of the village of Pauillac on the left bank of the Gironde. The ground is deep gravel about two million years old, carried down from the Pyrenees by the Garonne and mixed with sand and a little clay, and it forces the vines to root deep. One piece of trivia we love: unusually among the 1855 classified growths, GPL's plots still match the land register of that era. To be straight with you, the fill on this bottle sits below the shoulder, and at this age that makes it a gamble. It's for the curious collector, not a sure-thing dinner-party bottle, so stand it upright for a day or two and open it carefully.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047940292665,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-76-B-10","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Grand-Puy-Lacoste-Pauillac-1975-under-shoulder-fill-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793696561","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-1975-under-shoulder-fill","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
