COMMENT
This winery is based in the Vallée de la Marne, said to be the birthplace of Champagne. The Orban family began growing grapes and making Champagne in 1929, but in 2007 Francis Orban became independent and released his own Champagne. This Champagne makes the most of the quality of 100% Pinot Meunier.
