About the Producer
For more than 500 years, the Mellot family has maintained a reputation for classic, terroir-driven wines. Company president Catherine Corbeau-Mellot grew up in a winemaking family, and when her husband passed suddenly in 2005, she stepped up to manage both the family and estate. Their 25-year-old son Adrien has now finished his wine studies and has taken on overseeing the vineyards. The entire team are dedicated to bring forward the essence of their terroirs through practices in the vineyard and the winery. They are respected for their principled and sustainable vineyard practices, and the wines of Joseph Mellot showcase the region’s best characters. This family is one of the longest-standing partners of Jones & Company.
Reviews & Notes
Rick Watkins
"What a great value in French Sauvignon Blanc. Made by Joseph Mellot who makes brilliant wines in the Loire, this is very close to their quality at 1/2 the price. Very steely, with gunflint aromas and notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. Comes in an environmentally friendly plastic bottle so not made to age."
Sylvia Jansen
"This is a fresh, bright, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc that speaks of its Loire home. Toss a spinach salad with fresh berries and feta, a crusty baguette, and a side of grilled asparagus, and enjoy."
Mike Muirhead
"We have been working with Mellot for over 20 years!!! This wine has gone through an evolution over the years (remember the plastic bottles) but still shows value out of the Loire (and France). Fresh bright pear and lime zest with a bit of mineral on the finish. A great pair to pickerel or just a patio in the sun."
