Gault&Millau's review

2023 93/100

Notes of cereal, yellow fruit, tonka bean and roasted citrus, with crushed mint leaves and sage adding a fresh dimension. The minimalist dosage of 3 g/l still squeezes the bubbles a little, but the vintage's potential is there. In the meantime, don't hesitate to decant this cuvée to bring out its full potential.

Francis Orban

An atypical commune in the Marne valley, Leuvrigny has been home to the Orban champagne house since 1929. In this microclimate combined with an exceptional terroir favorable to Pinot Meunier, the Orban family was the first to elevate vines to the rank of champagne. It's a passion that has been passed down through four generations, playing on the softness, elegance and nobility of the estate's authentic savoir-faire. Francis Orban has been at the helm of the estate since 1999, and his own brand was launched in 2007. Be careful not to confuse Francis and Geoffrey Orban, the latter being a consultant and trainer in geosensory tasting. All wines from Francis Orban and his estate are highly recommendable.
