A great one to try for anyone stuck in a Sauvignon rut. This brings the classic high acid vibe but a little softer and fruitier than your Sancerre style. Solid aperitif wine with the usual crisps and dips culprits.

Located in Pays d'Oc, Le Ballon are producing organic grapes at excellent value. The work done in the vineyard, and particularly the work of the soil, give way to fruity and easy-going wines, to drink in their youth.
