Henri Perrussets vineyards and home are located in the small town of Farges-les-Mcon, on the northernmost spur of the limestone subsoil that characterizes the appellation of Mcon. 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-Fuiss. 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. Our Mcon-Farges bottling comes uniquely from a parcel of old vines, while the Mcon-Villages is a custom blend of all his other holdings around Farges. These are Chardonnays with the ripeness and intensity level of a Pouilly-Fuiss or even a Saint-Aubin, with the particular got de terroir of Henris corner of Mcon.
