In a technological age, where the word ‘post’ is more commonly associated with a social media update than a delivery, there is something uniquely thrilling about a parcel arriving at your door — especially when its contents are a surprise.
So, if you’re struggling to find the perfect gift this Christmas for that friend or relative who already seems to have everything — or if you’re simply looking to treat yourself to a monthly pick-me-up, allow us to introduce you to your new favourite subscription service, Le Petit Ballon.
Sommelier wines to your door...
Their service (available as a recurring monthly subscription or as a 3, 6 or 12-month plan) will deliver wines you can’t find in supermarkets directly to your door. The company’s master sommelier, Jean-Michel Deluc, explores the world’s leading wine regions to find the best estates, domains and chateaux from which the Le Petit Ballon wine is selected.
Since Le Petit Ballon’s launch in 2011, more than 400 winemakers from around the world have joined the company — allowing them to curate a diverse range of bottles from off the beaten track.
Hand-picked for you…
The Le Petit Ballon subscription service comes in two choices: Grape Expectations has been crafted for new discoverers of the world of wine, so is the perfect choice for people who want to improve their wine tasting skills. The Age of Raisin subscription, meanwhile, is ideal for wine lovers with a slightly more evolved palate — delivering complex, prestigious wines.
Each subscription includes two bottles each month, alongside in-depth tasting notes for each of the wines and a copy of Le Petit Ballon Gazette, which is full of useful tips, recipes and stories about the winemakers.
Making wine accessible for everyone...
What we love best about this service is their aim to move away from the stuffy world of wine and embrace a new, playful way of talking about it.
This makes them the perfect gift to give everyone — whether an occasional wine lover, an amateur or a connoisseur.
