The Orban family has a history deeply rooted in the village of Troissy in the Marne Valley.  A legacy Champagne grower, they started growing grapes in 1770.  At the end of the 20th century, they sold their estate to the influential Rapeneau family.  The Rapeneau family has a long legacy of producing estate-grown Champagne.  This is also called grower Champagne meaning the winery uses only grapes from its own vineyards and controls production from vine to wine.  Four generations of the family have built a reputation for making pristine Champagne.  This family-owned estate is a cornerstone of Champagne excellence.  This is simply amazing value-for-money for authentic Champagne.  The Charles Orban Brut Rose Champagne is lively on the palate and nicely rich and flavorful.  It has an elegant nose dominated by notes of peaches, roses and peonies.  It has a medium body and soft bubbles.  A deep salmon color, this Champagne abounds with flavors of cherry stones, spiced pears, red berries and pastries.  Enjoy!

Winemaker Notes: 

"A deep salmon-color, pretty string of bubbles. An elegant nose dominated by notes of peaches, roses and peonies. Lively on the palate, with initial apricot aromas and a red berry finish."
