Charles Orban
Champagne Charles Orban, a renowned grower producer from the Vallée de la Marne, has deep roots in Troissy, where the Orban family has cultivated vineyards since 1770. Known primarily for its exceptional Pinot Meunier, the estate also grows Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, offering a diverse range of grape varieties. In the late 1950s, Charles Orban left the Troissy cooperative to establish his own Champagne house, pursuing a unique vision. The Rapeneau family, with a Champagne legacy dating back to 1901, acquired the house in 1996, maintaining its founder’s dedication and passion. Today, the 25-hectare vineyard is certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (level 3), continuing to honor the rich history of this esteemed estate.
