AUBERGE JOSEPH MELLOT
Friendly inn-restaurant with terrace in the heart of the Centre-Loire wine region.
Since its creation in 1882 in Sancerre, in the heart of the Centre-Loire wine-growing region, Auberge Joseph Mellot has been a mecca for gastronomy and conviviality, an essential part of local life and a dynamic wine tourism. In recent months, the Sancerre institution has undergone a makeover, ensuring that its historical soul is preserved! In early 2019, Auberge Joseph Mellot upgraded its terrace, making it accessible all year round and to all audiences. Since his arrival in 2016, chef Jean-Philippe Bedu has given a new impetus to the Auberge Joseph Mellot's local cuisine, which gives pride of place to the many treasures of Sancerre, including the famous goat dung Le Chavignol and lentils from Sancerre. He carefully chooses his products according to the seasons, and creates a refined cuisine very well tied up. As for wines, the menu, essentially made up of wines from the Domaines Joseph Mellot, has the good taste to give pride of place to all the AOC and IGP wines from the Centre-Loire. It must be said that Joseph Mellot, whose birthplace is in Sancerre, is the only owner to own vines in all the appellations of the region! To discover if you visit the region.... A stone's throw from the Auberge is the cellar where you can taste and buy the wines of the estates, as well as a gîte for rent.
