As with exceptional Sauternes, noble-rot affected grapes are hand harvested in successive tries, or pickings, for Coteaux du Layon Chaume's Chenin Blancs.

The high-quality 1987 vintage is full, with rounded fruit flavors and mineral expression. Decant it first, and have it the local way as an aperitif, with foie gras, or with chevre or blue cheese.

1993 Chateau Pajzos Tokaji Aszu Essencia 500 ml Hungary
Tokaji (known as Tokay in English-speaking countries) is a great Hungarian dessert wine that is so famous that it's even mentioned in the Hungarian national anthem. The wine is produced from Furmint grapes infected with the "noble mold," Botrytis cinerea. Most Tokajis are made by mixing dry wine with puttonyos (baskets) of botrytized grapes; the more puttonyos added, the sweeter the wine. The rarest of the rare is called Essencia and is equivalent to a German Trockenbeerenauslese. Essencia is made from the very richest free-run juice of botrytized Furmint grapes, which barely ferments to about 3 percent alcohol and is especially high in sugar. This distinctive and extraordinary wine can easily last for decades.
Price: $525,00
