Joseph Mellot

Our Story

Deeply rooted in the heart of Sancerre, the history of Joseph Mellot spans 500 years and several generations of our family. Founded by Pierre Etienne Mellot in 1513, our estate is today one of Sancerre’s largest and undoubtedly most prestigious. In 1984, Alexandre Mellot took over the estate, investing in vineyard holdings, modernisation of the winery and in developing exports. In 1987, he was joined by his wife Catherine Corbeau-Mellot, who in 2005 took the reins of the family business.
