Francis Orban Brut Prestigio

Tasting Notes:

Superb bouquet of freshly baked bread with delicious notes of peach, roasted pear and honeysuckle. The effervescence is flawless. Dry with racy acidity. Very graceful finish.

The Producer:

There are two types of Champagnes: big brands and farmers. Francis Orban is the latter, and an extremely meticulous wine-maker. His Domaine sits in the small town of Leuvrigny, in the heart of the Marne Valley, known among experts as being the best place to source Pinots for premium Champagnes. Francis specializes in Blancs de Noirs (made only with black grapes). He favors a lighter and racier style and is obsessed with getting the finest bubbles.
