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 Clos-de-Vougeot comes from a parcel located in the higher part of the clos, at the foot of the Château de Vougeot. This world-renowned appellation of the Côte de Nuits, rich in clay-limestone soils, is home to Alex Gambal’s 40-year-old, organically farmed vines. After a manual harvest and strict sorting, the grapes (50% destemmed) are vinified then matured in oak for 19 months. The wine has a ruby red robe with an intense yet fresh robe. The spiced notes from the oak meld elegantly with the fruit.
