{"product_id":"chateau-rayne-vigneau-sauternes-1990-ac-shelf-pvt","title":"Chateau Rayne Vigneau, Sauternes, 1990","description":"A 1990 Sauternes from a Premier Cru Classé estate, now with more than three decades in bottle. Someone else has done the waiting, and you get to open it. Rayne Vigneau was ranked among Sauternes' first growths in 1855. Its vineyard sits on a gravel mound near the village of Bommes, the third-highest point in the area after Yquem. (Yquem keeps turning up in this story: in 1867 the broker Daney ranked the estate first, immediately after Yquem.) The detail everyone remembers is in the soil: agates, onyxes, amethysts and even sapphires turn up in the estate's Garonne gravels. The house picks by hand, going through the vines several times so each grape is taken only once noble rot has fully set in, helped along by morning mists off the Ciron stream. These days the estate's yields run a tiny 10 to 15 hectolitres per hectare, depending on the vintage. For anyone curious about what mature first-growth Sauternes can be, this is a great place to start.","brand":"Acker Merrall \u0026 Condit [AC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50961087070265,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-PVT-AC-SHELF-102726-CRVS1990-ROW8-BOX 7","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5478.jpg?v=1793301799","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-rayne-vigneau-sauternes-1990-ac-shelf-pvt","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
