WINE DESCRIPTION
Decades ago, a chance encounter between Kermit and Henri Perrusset in a cozy Beaujolais tavern sparked a lasting partnership. Henri's handcrafted Chardonnays, born from meticulously tended vineyards in Farges-les-Mâcon, offer a refreshing departure from the region's conventional cooperatives. Henri's commitment to manual labor and low yields enhances grape quality, yielding wines with remarkable value. The unique limestone soil of Farges imbues the wines with a distinctive minerality. From old-vine Mâcon-Farges to the custom blend Mâcon-Villages, each bottle reflects the terroir of Henri's corner of Mâcon. With Henri's unofficial retirement, the legacy continues under Nicolas Roux's stewardship, ensuring the perpetuation of benchmark wines.
