Joseph Mellot Pouilly Fume

A glass of wine that embodies the versatility of Joseph Mellot. This winery is capable of much more than just producing sublime Sancerre wines. This passion has been there from the very beginning, and for a long time. The Joseph Mellot winery was founded in 1513 (!) by its eponymous owner in the village of Sancerre. At the time, it was a small village in the Loire Valley, but today it's one of the most famous towns. For years, they cultivated wines primarily from the Sauvignon Blanc grape. In the 1920s and 1930s, they began focusing on specialized regions, one of which is Pouilly Fume.
