🎈 Playful yet Structured – Ballon Rouge 2022 – Cros des Calades
Don’t let the name fool you – this “Ballon” is full of gravity. Made by Florence and Benoît Chazallon of Château de la Selve, Ballon Rouge is a natural red with Rhône soul: juicy, vibrant and charmingly unfiltered. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon gives this wine lift and structure in perfect harmony – an accessible red with real depth.
🍒 Red berries, cherry and subtle spice
On the nose: fresh raspberries, ripe cherries, and a hint of plum. The palate is generous and smooth, with soft tannins and a light herbal touch. The Cabernet adds backbone, while Grenache and Syrah bring fruit and floral notes. The finish is clean, lightly smoky and easy to love – pure drinkability with finesse.
