#tourdefrance
Brasserie d’ Achouffe
Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel
Start of #tourdefrance 2019. Stage 1 starts in Belgium. Bright and refreshing Belgian Ale in a familiar CA IPA style. Nice little quaff of Chouffe. — 5 years ago
Marc Barriot
Le P'tit Barriot Le Clot de l'Origine Red Blend
Rustic syrah for stage 17 of #tourdefrance as they climb the Pyrenees. A bit of Brett and meaty funk. Not great in our really warm weather. Switched to the stage 18 white ;) — 6 years ago
Guy Farge
Cornas Syrah 2015
Stage 13, #tourdefrance hits the Rhône where we try a deep, inky syrah from Cornas. Looks hot out there, stay safe. This one with a bit of Brett, iodine, and blood. Settled out with deep fruit and smoked meats. — 6 years ago
Château de la Négly
La Falaise Coteaux du Languedoc 2016
Stage 10 #tourdefrance 2019 into beautiful Albi. It was hot so we had this white Languedoc. Roseanne, Marsanne, and Bourboulenc. Ripe and rich with a bit of funky herbal notes that take you away from th Rhone. Enjoyable but odd. — 5 years ago
La Jasse Castel
El Abanico Pays D'Herault 2015
Deep in the mountains for stage 18 of #tourdefrance. Big blend of chardonnay, Roussanne, Grenache blanc, and more. Fruit driven, ripe, and long finish. Surprised me. Could have been a CA Rhône blend with the ripeness. — 6 years ago
Domaine Cabirau
Serge & Nicolas Maury Sec Red Rhone Blend 2016
We enter the #tourdefrance Pyranees in stage 16 with a really nice Maury Sec. Grenache, Carignan, Syrah. Deep fruit with long smooth finish. Had at sunset while watching the final 10k. — 6 years ago
Domaines Schlumberger
Saering Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2015
Stage 6 of #tourdefrance what a great Grand Cru Riesling. Hits all the right notes, green apple, petrol, some wax in the finish. Long full mouth and finish. Great expression of Alsace. — 5 years ago
Prieuré Saint-Jean de Bébian
La Chapelle de Bébian Languedoc Grenache Blanc Blend
Finished the big mountains with an epic stage for 19 of #tourdefrance starting down in the Languedoc and climbing. This was really nice white wine. Again, a lot of body, but this more balanced than yesterday. Good long finish with honey, white peach, raisin. Nice wine. — 6 years ago
Marie et Frederic Chauffray
La Reserve d'O Terrasses Du Larzac Syrah Grenache 2015
For stage 15 of #TourdeFrance into Carcassone, we played the Castle while watching the show. Bright cherry on this Languedoc. But flavors a bit muddled. Nothing to really stand out. — 6 years ago
Jeff Lander
As #tourdefrance 2022 hits the south we have a rosé sparkler from Limoux. Very refreshing for a hot day. — 2 years ago
