Extra Brut
Extra Brut (dosage 3g/liter) - Grand Cru
100% Pinot Meunier – Blanc de Noirs
Alcohol content: 12°
Bottle size: 750ml
Francis has a deep passion for the Meunier, which finds an ideal field of expression here, drawing its freshness from the limestone and its delicacy from the clayey subsoil.
Francis Orban's champagnes are vibrant and expressive, yet stripped of all excess. The color is straw yellow with a hint of gold. The intense nose reveals fruity aromas (yellow peach) and minerality (iodine). The palate is elegant, with a mineral and spicy texture that lends it good persistence.
It goes well with all medium to very flavorful dishes, from starters to main courses such as pollock fillet with sweet potato mash, pan-fried scallops with a reduction of clementine juice and shallots, a creamy mussel risotto or mascarpone lemon cream and apricot coulis.
This champagne is made from 50% reserve wines that mature on the lees for at least 36 months.
