Puligny-Montrachet Alex Gambal (Domaine) 2014

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

This Chassagne-Montrachet will seduce you with its beautiful light robe and generosity. The nose reveals its elevage on the lees and in oak: lactose (cream and butter) and vegetal (bush) aromas. The mouth marries freshness with subtle honeyed notes very pleasantly. The finish is soft with saline notes. In short, a complex and beautifully balanced wine that can be paired with characterful dishes.
