Noble Rot, or botrytis, is a fungus that attacks the skin of grapes under certain conditions.
Botrytised wines account for a small percentage of the market, so when grapes intended for dry wines are affected they are very difficult to use for anything but sweet wine and are often discarded.
While the world's greatest dessert wines are produced from grapes affected by Noble Rot, in all truth it's more of a destructive condition than anything.

 The Good Stuff (washingtonpost.com)
In French it is pourriture noble, and in that country the use of it to make sweet wines dates back at least to the 17th century, and several centuries earlier in Hungary.
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.
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.

This grape is susceptible to a rotting condition called "Noble Rot" (a fungal infection caused by Botrytis Cinerea) that adds very aromatic and honeyed qualities to the wine.
These tubs are added to the fermenting must (juice of the healthy grape), according to special proportions of 3, 4, 5, or 6 (and I have seen up to 7!) Puttonyos per barrel of wine.

 Wines & Vines: Fascinating fungi and the noble rot
While bunch rot is the bane of the grape grower's existence, there is one fungus, Botrytis cinerea, which certain winemakers depend on to make some of the most delicious, sought-after and expensive desert wines in the world.
These three common bunch rots are called secondary pathogens because they can grow only where a crack or break already exists in a grape such as from insect or bird damage or where grapes split from growing too closely together in a cluster.
Despite the efforts of grape growers to avoid bunch rot, moldy grapes (fungal infections) are responsible for considerable crop loss each year.

The next challenge is that the noble rot will not attack all grapes at the same time.
The reason for this mould's elevation is that instead of ruining the grapes, it enters the grapes' thin, elastic skins, attacks the sugars stored in the berries, shrivels and concentrates them.
Now, we are not talking about any old mould but the noble rot.

 Article - Backstage Magazine Steppenwolf Theatre Company
The noble rot’s fickle nature continues to be impossible to plot, thereby forcing Tokaj farmers to pluck grapes individually while most wine manufacturers harvest full vineyards with modern machinery.
The Communist regime insisted on Tokaj grapes being used for basic table wine, demanding that all grapes be harvested at a given time and disregarding the specificity required to perfectly harvest the noble rot.
In the small Tokaj region of Hungary, about 125 miles east of Budapest, each usable grape is still handpicked by growers at a specially designated time of year: when the grapes have actually begun to decay on the vine.

Several passages of tries are made through the vineyard in order to select the grapes affected by pourriture noble and the wine is fermented at a temperature of 19° to 21° in 50hl stainless-steel vats.
Although the vineyard itself was established in the 17th century, it was Romaine de Filhot, a Bordeaux parliamentarian whose family owned the maison noble of Verdoulet, who commanded that sweet wines should be made at the estate instead of "Vin de Langon" in 1709.
