Esprit Nature: respect for the environment by favoring sustainable viticulture.
« We have a dream.... to pass on to our children the land of our parents, without having degraded it, by having exploited it with respect to make them discover its richness... » - Marlène Delongand Damien Moreau.
Founded in 1966 in Allemant, Champagne Delong Marlène is managed today by two young enthusiasts and nature lovers. The farm extends over 5 ha 30, in 3 villages of the Côteaux Sézannais: Allemant, Broyes and Sézanne (Côte des Blancs). With care throughout the year, Marlène and Damien cultivate the grape varieties on vines with an average age of 40 years. Each plot is unique and thus offers a great diversity and complexity of the different vintages in the range.
The world’s most famous sparkling wine, champagne, is ideal for every celebration. The Champagne vineyards and their hillsides are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Everything begins with a specific area of land which, thanks to human talent, produces the most original of wines. This talent ensures that the delicate characteristics of the land are expressed in champagne’s sublime effervescence. The same word to designate a region and the wine where it was born. Champagne only comes from Champagne.
Defined by a law dating from 1927, the area eligible to produce origin-approved (AOC) authentic champagne covers 34,000 hectares. The vineyards are divided into four large regions: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs and the Côte des Bar.
PINOT NOIR CHARDONNAY PINOT MEUNIER
The Champagne vineyard today is predominantly planted to the black Pinot Noir and Meunier and the white Chardonnay. (Other approved varietals are together less than 0.3% of plantings).
The Pinot Noir accounts for 38% of planting.It is the predominant grape variety on the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Bar. It is the Pinot Noir that adds backbone and body to the blend, producing wines with distinctive aromas of red berries and good structure.
The Pinot Meunier accounts for 32% of planting. This robust grape variety is particularly well suited to the more argillaceous soils of the Marne Valley. The Meunier adds roundness to the blend, producing supple, fruity wines.
Chardonnay accounts for 30% of plantings. The Chardonnay is king on the Côte des Blancs, yielding delicately fragrant wines with characteristic notes of flowers, citrus and sometimes minerals.
