Biking in Burgundy, Leflaive and DeTours in France

I can feel Max’s pain as he starts his journey in Europe, I have recently just returned from a food and wine extravaganza in Burgundy and Champagne. Tough work but someone has to do it! In the interest of our waists we biked through villages such as Pommard, Volney and Meursault to get to Puligny-Montrachet, these names appear on the bottles of some of France’s best wines. Of course when we sat with Olivier LeFlaive at his cellars and hotel for lunch we did our best to devour fine bottles of wine and copious amounts of great dishes. The table in the courtyard sagged with delights and no surrender was offered, the bright sun shone and Olivier’s stories made the time fly by, he is also a splendid guitarist. The man is a charm and the vineyards no place to hold back, I didn’t! Thanks Sarah and DETOURS in FRANCE for a fantastic day.
