Maison Alex Gambal's Bourgogne Rouge represents the estate's dedication to capturing the pure, unadulterated essence of Burgundy. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the Côte d'Or, this Pinot Noir is crafted with the same precision as the maison's prestigious village and premier cru appellations. Reflecting the transition to organic and biodynamic viticulture, the grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels with minimal new oak. The result is a classic, elegant red Burgundy that balances bright red berry fruit with subtle earthy undertones and a fine mineral spine, echoing the rich winemaking heritage of Beaune.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1997 by American entrepreneur Alex Gambal, Maison Alex Gambal is a distinguished Burgundy wine producer located at 14 Boulevard Jules Ferry, 21200 Beaune, Burgundy, France. Driven by a philosophy of organic viticulture and minimal intervention, the maison transitioned to biodynamic practices for its estate-owned vineyards to express the pure, mineral-driven character of Côte d'Or's diverse terroirs. Renowned for both its expressive whites and elegant reds, the estate produces exceptional wines, including the Meursault Clos Cromin and the distinctive Pinot Noir cuvée Deux Papes. In 2019, the estate was acquired by the Boisset family, who continue to honor Gambal's legacy of crafting precise, terroir-focused wines, with more information available at their official website, https://www.alexgambal.com.
