The Millesime reflects the entire organoleptic range of the world of Francis Orban Champagnes: the Pinot Meunier reveals all the fullness of its fruit, while the Chardonnay contributes its distinguished freshness
Tasting Notes:
The beautiful green highlights, a slightly golden tint and the fine bubbles evoke the elegance of the Millesime 2011, a rare year, unusual because of its extraordinary weather conditions with sunshine and rainfall playing a major role. Its bouquet expresses the minerality from this exceptional year, and its notes of white-fleshed orchard fruit lead into a finish on fine, subtle toasted notes
