Sparkling Wine
Champagne
Have you ever felt anything less than amazing after a glass or two of good Champagne?
Here at Noble Rot we love drinking it whenever we can – not just celebrations – and are
excited by the explosion of brilliant artisanal ‘grower’ producers in the region. Here’s a
selection of some of our favourites, along with a few Grand Marques (‘big brands’) too.

England
For years English sparkling wine has been regarded as a bit of a joke, so when two homegrown bubblies triumphed in our recent ‘Champagne vs English sparkling blind tasting’,
a few eye-brows were raised. See if you agree with our judging panel of well-respected wine
writers, chefs and sommeliers that the best English Sparklers are now a genuine alternative
to Champagne.

White Wine
Chardonnay / The world’s greatest whites
Many people claim they “don’t like Chardonnay”, but at Noble Rot we think that’s a
bit like saying you don’t like chicken based on KFC, or disliking all music because of
Robbie Williams. Sure, Chardonnay is routinely violated by all manner of unscrupulous
‘winemakers’, but in the hands of Burgundy’s leading vignerons it’s transformed into wines
of incomparable beauty.

From Nantes on France’s Atlantic coast to the hill–top town of Sancerre 170 miles to the
east, the Loire Valley makes dependably delicious white wines. Typically featuring mouthwatering acidity and lively, fresh aromas, these highly drinkable whites are a match for a
diverse array of dishes.

Riesling, Grüner Veltliner & related
100 years ago top German Rieslings were the world’s most expensive wines. Thankfully
they aren’t quite as costly today, and in many cases represent some of the best ‘quality to
price’ ratios around. Redolent with the aromas of slate, stones, citrus and even petrol, try a
laser-focused Grosses Gewächs (German first growth) from a star estate like Weingut Keller
or Dönnhoff, or a broader, richer style from Alsace or Austria. For the ultimate expression,
try a Trimbach’s legendary Clos Ste Hune; wine doesn’t get much better.

Red Wine
Pinot Noir / The Heartbreak Grape
When it’s on form red Burgundy is simply unbeatable. Stimulating the mind as well as
the soul, although the complexity of vineyards, producers and culture in Pinot Noir’s
homeland can warrant serious contemplation, the region is more straightforward than
many think. Aromatically less obviously fruit dominated than many of the excellent Pinot
Noirs being made in the New World today, once you have reveled in a top Burgundy’s
sublime symphony of brambles, berries and damp earth (sound enticing?) nothing will
ever quite compare again.

Beaujolais, Blaufrankisch, The Jura and other lighter reds
We’ve long celebrated the similarities between Cru Beaujolais and Austrian Blaufrankisch
as both are juicy and thirst–quenching with an affinity for food. We also regularly enjoy
drinking Trousseau and Ploussard, unique light-coloured reds from the Jura that perfectly
express their alpine-influenced terroir.

Rhone Valley, Rhone Valley inspired and other full bodied reds
Northern Rhone
Whether it’s complex, age-worthy wines from Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie and Cornas or intense
early drinkers from Crozes-Hermitage and St Joseph, The Northern Rhone is at the top
of Noble Rot’s ‘go to’ list. In youth these 100% Syrah wines smell of blackberries, black
pepper, violets and graphite, whilst with age they often develop an appealing animal
gaminess that’s up there with the world’s finest perfumes. Chanel can but dream of making
a fragrance as beguiling as 1989 Chave Hermitage.

Dessert & Fortified Wine
Sweet Bordeaux
With a name like Noble Rot no wine list could never be complete without a selection of
top dessert wines. Noble Rot (AKA Botrytis Cinerea) is a fungus that grows on the skins
of grapes causing them to shrivel and dehydrate, concentrating their sugars and rendering
them perfect material for making luscious sweet wines. Our favourites are Château
D’Yquem and Château Climens, both decadently rich but mouthwateringly fresh, with the
acidity and structure to evolve for decades.
