Champagne Francis Orban

The story of Champagne Francis Orban begins in 1929 with Léopold Orban, a true pioneer in the Vallée de la Marne. Based in the small village of Leuvrigny, Léopold was the first in the area to install a champagne press and begin producing wines under the family name. His passion for craftsmanship and commitment to the region’s terroir laid the foundations for generations to come, establishing a family legacy deeply connected to the land, the vineyards and the traditions of champagne.
