The Mellot family's winemaking legacy in Sancerre stretches back over 500 years. As early as the 17th century, the family had earned renown for their expertise, with César Mellot being appointed Wine Advisor to the influential King Louis XIV in 1698.

In the 19th century, Alphonse Mellot built upon this foundation by founding a tavern in Sancerre, laying the groundwork for the family's flourishing wine trade. This was soon followed by a major milestone - in 1881, Alphonse obtained a license to ship his wines throughout France and around the world, marking the beginning of the family's global expansion.

This unbroken, century-old tradition is now carried on by the 19th generation Mellot, Alphonse Mellot Jr., under the guidance of his father, Jacques. At Domaine La Moussière, they uphold the family's unwavering commitment to winemaking excellence, crafting exceptional Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir that fully capture the celebrated terroir of Sancerre.

The Mellots' patient, meticulous approach has earned their wines international acclaim. Each bottle reflects the family's centuries-old expertise, as well as their passion for conveying the essence of this revered appellation. Whether it's the crystalline purity of their Sauvignon Blanc or the graceful elegance of their Pinot Noir, Domaine La Moussière's wines are a testament to the Mellot legacy - a lineage of winemaking perfection passed down through generations.
