Press Review

Smells a bit like warm, freshly made focaccia... Long, challenging, interesting – but not for traditional, conservative champagne lovers.

- Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com

Overview

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.
