Ballon Blanc is a fresh, playful white from the blossoming Cros des Calades project in the southern Rhône, where Florence and Benoît Chazallon gently coax expressive wines from organic vineyards near Grospierres. It is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Rolle (Verdejo/Vermentino) and Chardonnay, lifted by bright acidity and a joyful spirit that mirrors the sun-lit Ardèche hills.
In the glass it glows with pale straw light, inviting with aromas of citrus peel, white stone fruit and a whisper of blossom. On the palate the fruit is clean and generous, juicy peach and apricot framed by lively acidity and a subtle spice that lingers gently on the finish. Ballon Blanc is a wine of pure, easy pleasure — light enough to serve on its own yet with enough character to stand beside seafood, fresh salads or simple grilled fare.
Effortless and inviting, this is summer in a glass... refreshing, beautifully balanced and truly drinkable.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.

If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
