Founded in 1513 by Pierre-Etienne Mellot, the Joseph Mellot story in Sancerre has always been led by a member of the family. Today, Catherine Corbeau Mellot watches over it attentively with the hope of passing it on one day to her sons.

Alexandre Mellot, the son of Joseph Mellot, was one of the first to believe in the important potential of the Sancerre and Central Loire wines, by wishing to establish a vineyard in each neighbouring appellation area. Today, it is by paying attention to the smallest details that Catherine carries on her late husband’s work and leads the Joseph Mellot vineyard on to greater success.

Her main goal is to introduce great vineyards, produce wines with strong personalities and to market them in an innovative, international way, while taking care to protect the environment.
