Francis Orban Brut Rosé Champagner

Francis Orban Brut Rosé is an authentic artisanal champagne from the small, traditional Francis Orban champagne house, located in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne. The house’s history dates back to 1929, when Léopold Orban became the first person in the village of Leuvrigny to install his own wine press, thereby laying the foundation for today’s winery. Today, the family tradition is carried on by the fourth generation. The vineyards cover approximately 7.5 hectares across a total of 29 plots around Leuvrigny. They are predominantly south-southeast-facing and offer ideal conditions for Pinot Meunier, which accounts for more than 90 % of the vineyard area. The soils, composed of limestone, sand, and clayey formations, give the champagnes a subtle combination of richness, freshness, and mineral precision. For years, the family has followed a sustainable approach to viticulture, largely leaving nature to take its course: no insecticides, green cover between the rows, and selective plowing promote natural pest control. Reserve wines play an important role in the cellar in terms of balance and complexity. The result is lively, expressive champagne—clear in expression, fresh in fruit, and free of any superfluous elements. The Brut Rosé also follows this philosophy. Through traditional bottle fermentation, careful aging, and precise blending, a champagne is created that bears the house’s signature—expressive, harmonious, and shaped by the unique character of the Vallée de la Marne.
