	Noble Rot
		Today, although Botrytis, or Noble Rot, or Pourriture Noble in French, is of importance in many wine regions, there are three principal players in the contest for recognition as the birthplace of Botrytis; they are Tokaji in Hungary, Sauternes in Bordeaux, and the Rheingau in Germany.
		The Hungarians quickly learnt that Noble Rot was to their advantage; within the next century the great sweet wines of Tokaji had a place in both French and Russian courts, and no doubt elsewhere too.
		The three principal regions for Noble Rot are joined by many others where the fungus plays a beneficial role; Coteaux du Layon and Vouvray in the Loire for instance, Alsace, Austria and even in Burgundy there are producers turning out Nobly Rotten wine.

	NOBLE ROT
		Noble rot is the name given to the benevolent form of a grey fungus, Botrytis cinerea, affecting wine grapes.
		Grapes infected with Botrytis when they are ripe, but then exposed to drier conditions become partially raisined, and this form of infection is known as noble rot.
		Noble rot has also been imported for use in artificial inoculation by winemakers in California and Australia.

	The Good Stuff (washingtonpost.com)
		But though noble rot can yield magnificent wines -- if your taste runs to sweet wines -- "getting the right amount of rot is never a sure thing." The vintner who uses it is wholly at the mercy of the weather.
		In Bordeaux noble rot is important to the makers of Chateau d'Yquem but not to many others.
		For the most part, that is, for "Noble Rot" is based on the implicit assumption that the reader is familiar with these wines not just as famous old names but also as gustatory pleasures.

	Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - Botrytis - The Noble Rot
		In its natural form, botrytis, which is sometimes referred to as "noble rot", appears regularly in very few locations.
		One folktale tells us that the beneficial aspects of noble rot were first discovered by Marquis de Lur-Saluces, the owner of Chateau d'Yquem in the region of Sauternes.
		According to this charming but not at all true story, the Marquis had to make a trip to Russia (another version of the story says he went on a hunting trip) and left orders that the grapes were not to be harvested until his return.

	Noble Rot review by Anthony Gardner
		The sensation upon entering such homes is consequently a curious one: of intimacy verging on voyeurism, of crossing the threshold from everyday reality into an environment more like a film set, of seeing the normal unravelling of time calcified in a residential museum.
		Each garment is soiled, torn, rust-stained or exhausted; the decay is explicitly noted in the brief room texts that accompany the displays and treated as important as the materials comprising the objects or the dates of their creation.
		A green silk skirt trails its train down a back staircase, the body of its wearer hinted at yet hidden as 'she' is caught in the process of escape.

	Dolce: Liquid Gold From Napa Valley
		Formally known as botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, it is a parasitic fungus or mold that affects grapes.
		In some climates, the grapes develop gray rot and spoil, while in other areas, the action of the botrytis produces the greatest sweet, late harvest wines of the world.
		Called "pourriture noble" (noble rot) in France and "Edelfaule" in Germany, botrytis must have the perfect weather conditions of high humidity followed by drying to develop properly.

	Noble Mold - FFXIclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It produces 2 different infections: the gray rot (occurs in continual humid or wet conditions, causes afflicted grape bunches to decay) and the noble rot (occurs when wet conditions are followed by dry conditions, causes afflicted grapes to develop a very distinct sweet taste).
		Wine resulting from the noble mold infection is said to "have an aroma of honeysuckle and a bitter finish on the palate".
		The unusual spawn conditions of Noble Mold were probably inspired by the Noble Rot's rare sequence of weather conditions required to produce the desired infection of grapes.

		These include many forms of rot; the most common is gray rot, when the grape clusters are filled with a cottony mold which often gives the wine a musty, unclean taste.
		It is the interaction of the warmer Garonne and cooler Ciron rivers that produce the morning mist that rises from the water and moistens the grapes, before the warm afternoon sun acts as a catalyst for the growth of a fungus on the grapes.
		Noble rot does not attack grapes in a standard fashion: some grapes are affected at the beginning of the week, others the following week.

		These three common bunch rots are called secondary pathogens because they can grow only where a crack already exists in a grape due to insect or bird damage or where grapes split from growing too closely together in a cluster.
		While bunch rot is the bane of the winegrower’s existence, there is one fungus, Botrytis cinerea that is required to make some of the world’s most delicious and expensive dessert wines.
		However, the proper set of climatic conditions transform this lowly bunch rot into what is called ‘noble rot.” The healthy grapes become shriveled and fuzzy, providing the raw materials the decadently sweet Sauternes of France and the exotic Trockenbeerenauslese and Berenauslese of Germany, as well as others.
