Chateau Lafaurie-PeyragueyBordeaux€€€€€€€€Dessert Noble Rot
Among the finest Premier Cru Classe Sauternes, with an exceptionally high Semillon content (up to 100% in some vintages) that delivers an unusually pure, concentrated expression of noble rot. Pineapple, candied citrus, honeycomb, and powdered ginger with vivid acidity; the 2013 renaissance under Silvio Denz transformed quality.

MaculanVeneto€€€€€€€€€Dessert Noble Rot
One of Italy's greatest botrytised dessert wines. Acininobili (noble berries) is produced from 100% botrytis-affected Vespaiola grapes, selected berry by berry in the best vintages. The Sauternes influence is explicit: Maculan was inspired by a trip to Bordeaux in the late 1970s and applied the Trockenbeerenauslese selection principle to Vespaiola.
