Henri Perrusset Macon Farges Selection Vieilles Vignes 2022 750 ML

Henri Perrusset’s vineyards and home are located in the small town of Farges-les-Macon, on the northernmost spur of the limestone subsoil that characterizes the appellation of Macon. Farges is not far away from the village named (believe it or not) Chardonnay. The limestone in Farges is more marly than the compact limestone farther south in Pouilly-Fuisse. It is hard and intensely white but breaks apart into small pieces and it is loaded with quartz and marine fossils as well. This type of soil is easier to work despite all the stones, provides great drainage for the vines, and gives the wines their grainy minerality.
