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

Located in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, La Maltroie is a parcel which lies on a limestone seam, lending an edifying minerality to the wine. In fact, its vibrancy and freshness on the palate has striking balance and purity. To produce this wine, Alex Gambal harvested the grapes by hand before pressing the grapes in whole bunches. The wines underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in casks and an élevage in oak for 17 months.
