About
Francis Orban Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut NV is a dry champagne made exclusively from Meunier grapes, grown in the Vallée de la Marne, in the Leuvrigny and Sainte-Gemme terroirs. With minimal dosage, this champagne highlights the balance and freshness of juicy fruit, offering a refined expression of its clay, limestone, and sandy soils. Aged for at least 36 months sur lattes, it combines elegance with vibrant liveliness.
Tasting notes
On the nose, it reveals fruity aromas with a pronounced saline character, featuring notes of quince compote, marzipan, orange pith, pear, and hints of ginger. The palate is supple and fresh, with smooth, creamy effervescence and a succulent texture. Subtle orange acidity and juicy fruit flavors create a harmonious and lively finish.
Pairing
This champagne pairs beautifully with seared scallops with clementine reduction, creamy clam risotto, or fillet of pollack with mashed sweet potato. It also complements light desserts, such as mascarpone lemon cream with apricot coulis.

Blanc de Noirs
Champagne
The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
