Description
Champagne Brut Réserve, traditional method, produced by Francis Orban. 12% ABV, 100% Pinot Meunier. A tribute to the terroir of the Marne Valley, where the Orban family has been producing champagne since 1929. The initial nose is captivating and delicately fruity with notes of peach, lychee, orange blossom, apple, medlar, raspberry, and quince, gently caressed by hints of orange blossom in a swirl of sea breezes. Induced malolactic fermentation. Aged for 24 months in the cellar, sur lattes. The perlage is fine and persistent. The initial impression on the palate is soft and fresh, with a creamy effervescence.

Pairings
Gaëtan devoted himself to developing the commercial side of the business and encouraging production throughout the post-war period known in France as the 30 Glorieuses! He spent his time publicising the brand, masterfully managing the commercial business to make sure that the 40,000 bottles he produced all had buyers.
At the same time, he also built the cellar, vat room, and the house where Francis and his family live today, all with his own hands. This force of nature was still ploughing at the age of 70 and welcoming visitors at almost 90! Read more
