alex gambal’s 2006 bourgogne blanc
I think this may be my last bottle of this, and I couldn’t buy any replacement when I visited Alex last week, as his 2010 and even 2011 are now sold out. That’ll teach me (not) to visit in May instead of January! 2006 Alex Gambal, Bourgogne Blanc… Read More
alex gambal 2009 bourgogne chardonnay
Given the long run of Alex’s 2007 and 2008 Bourgogne Chardonnay chez nous, I casually asked Alex how his 2009 was tasting – ‘delicious’ was his answer. Okay, an introductory 6-pack was comandeered – so, is it up to scratch? 2009 Alex Gambal, Bourgogne Chardonnay… Read More

Okay, I’m not quite comparing the same wine as the vintages are not quite a match, but they are new wines in my cellar, so… 2009 Alex Gambal, St.Aubin 1er Murgers les Dents du Chien… Read More
alex gambal 2008 dents du chien…

alex gambal 2008 chambolle 1er les charmes
2008 Alex Gambal, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Charmes Medium-plus colour. From the first pour this is an excellent mix of deep dark blue/black fruit against a mineral background. Hmm, this has a real lithe character, plenty of acidity – though… Read More
alex gambal 2004 st.aubin 1er dents du chien
I’ve bought this every vintage since Alex’s inaugural 2001 – except the 2003 of-course… I just took delivery of the 08s but thought it prudent to check on some older bottles. It’s a shame that decisions on what to open are today as much driven by the question… Read More
alex gambal buys 5 hectares – or does he…
Edit/Note: I discussed this with Alex and apparently this does not reflect his actual position, but he also doesn’t want to comment further until everything is ironed out. Will let you know when it is. Thumbs up for Clive – still first with the news: Philippe Brenot of Santenay… Read More
alex gambal 2007 vin de table…
A novelty that (vintage 2006) I first tasted at the domaine a couple of years ago – here for the first time at home: 2007 Alex Gambal, Blanc de Noirs Alex’s ‘vin de table’ in a clear Bordeaux… Read More
mon bulk vin du maison – alex gambal’s 2006-2008s scrutinised
Back home and ready for a drink! Given that I had almost finished my case of Alex Gambal’s 2006 Bourgogne Chardonnay, I decided to stock-up before I left Beaune and bought 6 each of the 2007 and 2008 version. A couple… Read More
