Joseph Mellot Wine
Joseph Mellot: the Sancerre
countryside as coat of arms
This is Sancerre, an exceptional region
of Centre-Loire, ideal for Sauvignon to
prosper and for making one of the
world's greatest white wines, from
which the Joseph Mellot Domain draws
its heritage and its strength. Pierre-
Etienne Mellot certainly could
not have imagined that, in 1513, he
would be the first link in a great wine-
growing story! Wine-maker by trade,
he laid the foundations of a small
vineyard at Sancerre, that every
generation has since been able to
preserve, enhance and improve. So the
Mellot family can proudly assert that
they have always made wine! And few
domains in France can claim such a
heritage. The Domain is well-
respected for the
consistent quality of its wines and has
seen significant growth since the
1980s. At that time it covered 50
hectares with precious plots located on
the best hillsides. Already well-known
in France for the quality of its wines, it
is going to spread to the world's best
tables, as a credible Ambassador for
Sancerre.
In 20 years, it will have doubled its
size – it now covers more than 100
hectares - and will extend its vineyard
into one of the great 'appellations' of
the Centre-Loire, such as Pouilly-Fumé,
Ménetou-Salon, Quincy, Reuilly or the
most confidential but very authentic
Coteaux-du-Giennois. Spectacular,
masterful progress that is owed to
Catherine Corbeau-Mellot, one of the
great French ladies of wine.
Today, Joseph Mellot, first French
Domaine in the Centre-Loire to have
obtained ISO 14001 certification, is
growing its vines using Sustainable
Agriculture. Unanimously hailed as a
French reference standard for its
elegant and mineral wines as much as
for the values it conveys: integrity,
respect for the environment, loyalty to
the region, today the domain can be
found in 47 countries and is well-
established in Scandinavia as well as in
Asian markets |
