The wine shows a bright ruby color, giving off aromas of fresh red fruits—cherry, raspberry—with delicate floral tones (hawthorn/aubépine) and mineral whispers. On the palate it is fresh and lively: juicy red fruit, a hint of earthiness, with fine tannins that are gentle rather than aggressive. There’s a pleasant mineral streak through the finish, which is balanced and clean.
Alex Gambal is an American-born winemaker in Burgundy, France, who founded his winery in 1997. The winery is known for its terroir-driven wines and dedication to organic and biodynamic practices, focusing on minimal intervention to highlight the character of each appellation.
The grapes are hand-harvested, and the fermentation is gentle so as not to overly extract harsh tannins—emphasis is on letting the fruit and terroir show rather than heavy manipulation.
Pairs well with roasted poultry (duck, chicken), grilled or roasted lamb, or even richer white meats. Its acidity and red fruit profile work nicely with dishes that have a bit of herbs and mild spice.
