Summary

A Frenchman, the poet Paul Claudel, once opined that “wine is a professor of taste, a liberator of the spirit and an illuminator of intelligence”. Far be it for us to make the same claim of The Cycling Podcast – though we can but try with our coverage of this year’s Grande Boucle, which starts from Copenhagen in Denmark on July 1.

To enhance your enjoyment – and, who knows, aid your enlightenment – we are once again teaming up with DVine Cellars of London to offer a selection of six wines celebrating the Tour route. As ever, from Alsace to the northern shore of Lac Léman in Switzerland, from the Valley of the Rhône to the Lot, the wines will surprise and hopefully delight.

In this episode, Daniel journeys to DVine Cellars HQ in South London to meet our resident wine guru and case curator, Greg Andrews, and discuss how Greg came up with this year’s selection.

To order the case itself, head to DVine Cellars.
