View Winery Website

Champagne Charles Orban is the ultimate grower producer from the “Vallée de la Marne”.

The Terroir is well known for its Pinot Meunier, but we have the privilege to grow the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well. The Orban family has been growing grapes in Troissy, a village on the left bank of the Marne river, since 1770. In the late 1950’s, Charles Orban left the Troissy cooperative and decide to make his own Champagnes to develop its own style. At the end of the 20th century, Champagne Charles Orban has been acquired by the Rapeneau Family who has kept the primarily spirit and passion of his founder.
