{"product_id":"chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-2002","title":"Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, 2001","description":"If you want to know what Pauillac is supposed to taste like, start here: the estate itself calls the 2001 Grand-Puy-Lacoste \"a very typical Pauillac\" and a beautiful expression of its terroir. That terroir is very deep, coarse gravel on the Grand-Puy plateau, which rises just west of the village of Pauillac on the left bank of the Gironde. All the vines sit in a single block around the château. The 2001 is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, picked between 1 and 14 October. The Borie family has run the estate since 1978, when Raymond Dupin chose Jean-Eugène Borie as its buyer. Jean-Eugène handed it to his son François-Xavier, whose job was to wake a \"sleeping beauty.\" He planted where needed, improved the drainage and changed the trellising, and he and Marie-Hélène Borie restored the château. One bit of trivia we love: unusually among the 1855 classified growths, GPL's plots still match the land register of that era. This is serious, classic Pauillac without the trophy-label pretension, and a back-vintage bottle worth seeking out.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047937212473,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-55-12","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Grand-Puy-Lacoste-Pauillac-2001-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_de5e3d95.jpg?v=1793696486","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-2002","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
