{"product_id":"chateau-pape-clement-pessac-leognan-1996","title":"Chateau Pape Clement, Pessac-Leognan, 1996","description":"This is a classified Pessac-Léognan red with almost three decades in bottle. Unless you laid one down yourself back then, it's very hard to get to taste mature Bordeaux from a historic estate like this one. Few wine estates anywhere have a longer story. Pape Clément's vineyard was first harvested in 1252, and it belonged to Bertrand de Goth, who became Pope Clement V in 1305 and kept managing the vines closely after his election (hence the name on the label). The estate has been a Grand Cru Classé de Graves since 1953. Its vines grow on clayey gravel washed down from the Pyrenees in the late Pliocene and early Quaternary, the gravel-based soil behind the reputation of this corner of southern Bordeaux. The 1996 was made under Bernard Magrez, who acquired the estate in the 1980s; Pape Clément was the first vineyard he ever bought. As with any red this old, stand the bottle upright for a day before opening and pour it carefully.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047939539001,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-72-9\/10","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Pape-Clement-Pessac-Leognan-1996-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793696556","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-pape-clement-pessac-leognan-1996","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
