About the event
For this workshop, we will explore the wines of Joseph Mellot, one of the Loire Valley’s most prestigious producers, with a 500-year family history.
This interactive tasting will take you on a journey through the Loire’s diverse regions — Pays Nantais, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine, and across to Sancerre in the Centre-Val de Loire region — showcasing the elegance, minerality, and unique character of both its white and red wines. We’ll be enjoying six exceptional wines, gaining insights into terroir, winemaking, and food pairings, this informal and informative wine workshop is perfect for anyone with an interest in wine.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the flinty freshness of Pouilly-Fumé, the elegance of Sancerre, and the precision of Cabernet Franc, all brought to life by the award-winning expertise of the Mellot family.
