{"product_id":"chateau-dyquem-sauternes-1986-ac-lima-pvt","title":"Chateau d'Yquem, Sauternes, 1986","description":"There are sweet wines, and then there is Yquem, and 1986 is the year the château itself holds up as proof of what a long Indian summer can do in Sauternes. The season was chaotic from flowering onward before turning hot and very dry through the summer. Then mild temperatures and showers set off a strong attack of botrytis, and 40 mm of rain in late October spread noble rot far and wide. When the sun came back in November, the harvest took 30 days of intense work in the mist, and the first pass through the vineyard was picked under heavy fog. That is Yquem at full stretch: botrytised fruit picked across repeated passes. Noble rot is what Sauternes is all about, and 1986 gave the pickers plenty of it (along with a lot of fog). Save it for a milestone, or open it and turn an ordinary evening into one. Serve it cold, pour small, and give it time in the glass.","brand":"Acker Merrall \u0026 Condit [AC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50596719099961,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-PVT-AC-LIMA-092826-CYS1986-ROW6-BOX 5","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-4693.jpg?v=1790978711","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-dyquem-sauternes-1986-ac-lima-pvt","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
