Gault&Millau's review
2025 91/100
Very ripe, summery nose with aromas of pine sap, fresh hay, hazelnut, dried apricot and juicy white fruit. The palate starts out full-bodied, underlined by creamy bubbles. But the fresh, taut material takes over with a straight, chiselled edge. The saline finish makes you thirsty for a second glass, while the citrus fruits provide an extra kick of invigorating energy.

Delong Marlène

Gérard Delong set up in 1966 in three communes on the Sézannais hillsides (Allemant, Broyes and Sézanne), leaving the cooperative in 1980 to produce his first cuvées as a harvester and handler. When he retired in 2000, his daughter Marlène took over the business. The young woman quickly embarked on a crusade against bare soil, insecticides and over-use of products. At the same time, she adapted her viticultural practices to emphasize grape quality rather than quantity. Sustainable viticulture has become so well established that biodiversity is making a comeback on the estate's 5.3 ha. With the arrival of her husband Damien in 2008, roles were divided: he in the vineyard and she in the cellar. Here too, Marlène observes and limits inputs: very few sulfites, indigenous yeasts and bacteria. HVE 3 and VDC certified, the estate's first harvest was certified organic in 2023.
