Winery presentation by Gault&Millau
A family-owned estate spanning three municipalities in the Sézanne region (Allemant, Broyes, and Sézanne), Marlène Delong has been running it since 2000. Having been a grower-producer since her father left the cooperative in 1980, the estate, under Marlène’s leadership, has committed to no longer using insecticides or herbicides. Sustainable viticulture and biodiversity are now the hallmarks of the estate’s 5.30 ha. In the cellar, the use of additives is also limited. Marlène and her husband Damien also tend to 4.60 ha in Saint-Lumier-en-Champagne, a small village on the slopes of the Vitryat, with vines averaging about fifty years of age.
