{"product_id":"chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-1995","title":"Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, 1995","description":"Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a wine made for long ageing. The estate says it needs eight to ten years just to show its full potential, and this 1995 has had roughly three times that. If you want to understand why people fall for Pauillac, a mature GPL is the wine to pour. The 1995 is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, picked over a harvest that ran from 18 September all the way to 30 October. The estate's vines grow in a single block of very deep, coarse gravel around the château, on the Grand-Puy plateau just west of the village of Pauillac. One bit of trivia we love: unusually among the 1855 classified growths, GPL's plots still match the land register of that era. The Borie family (of Ducru-Beaucaillou) bought the estate in 1978. François-Xavier Borie then set out to revive a \"sleeping beauty,\" planting where needed, improving the drainage and changing the trellising, so by 1995 that work was nearly two decades in. This is classic, serious Pauillac without the trophy-label pretension, and an aged bottle worth seeking out.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047937605689,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-58-1","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Grand-Puy-Lacoste-Pauillac-1995-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_e9abb50d.jpg?v=1793696501","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-1995","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
