{"product_id":"chateau-pape-clement-pessac-leognan-1999","title":"Chateau Pape Clement, Pessac-Leognan, 1999","description":"This is a classified Pessac-Léognan red that has already spent a quarter-century in bottle, the kind of back-vintage Bordeaux most people never get to taste unless they put it in their own cellar years ago. Pape Clément made its first harvest in 1252. It takes its name from Bertrand de Goth, the younger son of a noble Bordeaux family, who planted the vineyard and became Pope Clement V in 1305 while serving as Archbishop of Bordeaux. The vines then belonged to the Archdiocese of Bordeaux until the French Revolution, and the estate has been a Grand Cru Classé de Graves since 1953. The vineyard sits on Pyrenean clayey gravel laid down in the late Pliocene and early Quaternary. The estate splits its grapes by soil: Merlot grows on the clay in the east and Cabernet on the gravel in the west. The 1999 was made about fourteen years after Bernard Magrez bought the château in 1985. As with any red this old, stand the bottle upright for a day and pour carefully.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047937278009,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-56-4","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Pape-Clement-Pessac-Leognan-1999-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793696488","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-pape-clement-pessac-leognan-1999","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
