Drinking Joseph Mellot Pouilly-Fume Le Tronsec 2022 from France is like sipping wine tradition and history, as Domaines Jospeh Mellot has been producing high quality wines for over 500 years! Founded in 1513, the marque continues its tradition of excellence with Catherine Corbeau-Mellot at the helm. We found this white wine from the Loire Valley to be delicious sipped on its own or paired with a variety of food. We paired it with our recipe, Luxury Experience – Coquilles St. Jacques and it was rich, lovely, and slightly decadent. Imported by Albert Bichot USA LLC.

Tasting Notes: The color is vibrant yellow with a slight green tinge. Mineral notes of limestone and clay, citrus notes, and hints of yellow fruit on the intense, aromatic nose that follow through on the palate for a delectably long and lingering, and powerful mouthfeel finish.
Pairing Suggestions: Poultry cooked with lemon, blanquette of veal, local cheeses from the wine region.
Luxury Experience Pairing
With its rich and powerful nuances, we paired Joseph Mellot Pouilly-Fume Le Tronsec 2022 with our recipe for Luxury Experience – Coquilles St. Jacques, which complemented the layers of flavors of the wine.
Luxury Experience – Coquilles St. Jacques is made with sauteed sea scallops, sliced mushrooms, and parsley, and enhanced with a Beurre Blanc (white butter sauce) kissed with Joseph Mellot Pouilly-Fume Le Tronsec 2022, melded with Swiss cheese, nestled on a bed of rice, topped with buttery breadcrumbs, and baked until golden. While we served it as an appetizer presented on individual scallop shells, you can also make it as a casserole to serve family-style.
