The Mellot dynasty was founded in the Loire Valley almost five centuries ago by Pierre-Etienne Mellot and, since then, the family has always been involved in winemaking. In fact, in 1698, César Mellot, was entrusted with the weighty task of advising King Louis XIV on his choice of wines. Throughout the years, each new generation has continued to enrich and perfect the family's winemaking skills. Today run by the quality-minded Joseph Mellot, the family winery specializes in the unique wine styles of the Loire Valley, expressing its terroir and famous grape varieties.
