An experimental cuvée of Pinot Blanc from the lieu-dit of Fonnet, Textures is aged in a combination of French oak barrels and amphorae before bottling and aging sur latte. It is ripe, voluminous, and possesses that unmistakable Pinot Blanc charm of orange rind and minerals, but with bubbles. 18 months on the lees, no dosage.

Since 1998, Champagne Vouette & Sorbee is the creation of husband and wife Bertrand & Helene Gautherot. The Domaine is situated in Buxieres-Sur-Arce in the Cote des Bar. Five hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc planted on Kimmeridgian slopes and a small part on Portlandian called Sorbee. 

The vineyards are certified Demeter and ecocert. The farming is very mindful of the environment: compost made on the estate, only use of horse or light tractor, fruit trees reintroduced, domesticated cows.
