Vosne-Romanée Alex Gambal (Domaine) Vieilles Vignes 2009

The wine

Vosne-Romanée lies between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vougeot. In the heart of these two areas, Pinot Noir ripens wonderfully on sunny, clay-limestone slopes. Alex Gambal has produced a ruby wine with intense notes of red fruits and violet. The same intensity is found on the palate, with melted, powerful tannins yet retaining a stunning freshness. After being sorted, the destemmed grapes are vinified in stainless-steel vats. The wine is then matured for 17 months.

About the Producer Alex Gambal

Alex Gambal resembles the many Americans who have fallen in love with Burgundy, except that he decided to settle there and produce his own wine. In 1997, he moved to Beaune and developed his trading firm. Today he is supported by Alexandre Brault, who also abandoned the world of finance to devote himself to wine. Within a few years, the pair won over the local community and beyond. Maison Alex Gambal has recently partnered with the Domaine Christophe Buisson to vinify its own 20 hectares of vineyards, moving against the current trend of wine growers who complete their activity through trading
