Millésime 2018 Francis Orban

The 2018 vintage is a Champagne characterised by a certain tactile and aromatic opulence. The year began with an abundantly rainy spring. Fortunately, the summer brought generous sunshine, resulting in a beautiful harvest with plump grapes that were able to ripen serenely. It was an exceptional year for Chardonnay and Meunier, expressing crisp fruit and generosity in the wines.
 
The first nose reveals the sunny character of the vintage, embodied by notes of greengage plum, pear, candied lemon, brioche, candied quince, mild spices and pistachio cream. After aeration, the refined expression of our terroirs emerges, bringing freshness through notes of peppermint, clementine, peach, rose, marmalade and raspberry.
The first impression on the palate is smooth and silky with a creamy effervescence. The Champagne develops a rich and enveloping fruitiness, supported by lemon and orange acidity that is already beautifully integrated. The Champagne fills the palate with impressive tactile breadth, balanced by fruit that becomes increasingly juicy. The rich and melting finish unfolds a succession of aromas, continuously revived by its deep tactile imprint.
