It’s that time of year again; time to enjoy the
legendary Tour de France. Enjoy the sights of the racing and the stunning
scenery while enjoying a selection of French wine from DiscoverVin.
Each year DiscoverVin puts together a 6 pack of wines that can be enjoyed whilst watching the Tour. These wines relate to regions that the 2015 Tour de
France passes through. They represent the mid and final sections of the race through the mountains and south of France, when the battle for the yellow jersey really hots up.
As excellent value for money they are a great
introduction to DiscoverVin’s portfolio of boutique French wines. And all at
a fraction of the price of a ticket to France!
The wines in this six pack are sourced from vineyards
in the Pyrenees, Gaillac in South West France, Cahors (the home of Malbec), the Rhone Valley,
Provence, and finishing strongly with a fabulous Champagne as they turn towards Paris.
Here is the list of wines, as matched with some of
this year’s Tour stages. Notes on serving
suggestions and some information on the stages will be included with the pack.
