With generations of expertise and craftsmanship, the Joseph Mellot family estate has become a leading specialist in Loire-Centre’s finest wines.
At the helm of the Maison Joseph Mellot since 2005, Catherine Corbeau-Mellot has passionately continued the work of her husband, Alexandre. The winery is deeply committed to its core values of quality, eco-responsibility, sharing, and passing on knowledge.
The Joseph Mellot Estate produces wines across all 8 controlled origin names of the Centre-Loire region: Sancerre, Menetou-Salon, Pouilly-Fumé, Pouilly-sur-Loire, Quincy, Reuilly, Coteaux du Giennois, Châteaumeillant, and recently Touraine-Chenonceaux. Now joined by her two sons, Adrien and Armand, they are continuing the family tradition.
The Joseph Mellot family continues its tradition across the Centre-Loire appellations.
Rigorous winemaking respects the various regions. Particular attention is paid to the selection of plots and the monitoring of ripeness, making it possible to obtain grapes of optimal quality for each vintage.
Each wine benefits from tailor-made aging, specifically adapted to its characteristics: in vats on fine lees, in oak barrels from regional forests and made by local cooper artisans. The “Prestige” white vintages are vinified and aged in the 12th-century family cellar in the heart of Sancerre. The red vintages are also aged in oak barrels.
Catherine Corbeau-Mellot and her sons carry the family tradition forward.
Very committed to respecting the environment, Maison Joseph Mellot works for sustainable viticulture with respect for the land and biodiversity in order to pass on unspoiled nature for future generations. All its vineyards are operated using sustainable agriculture, certified High Environmental Value (HVE), and part of them are certified Organic Agriculture (AB).
