2017 | Alex Gambal | Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers Dents de Chien

Pale yellow hue with green tints, aromas of white flowers and citrus. The palate is fresh and citrusy. South and south-east facing on soils that are rich in limestone, the site has produced another excellent wine in 2017, with orange zest and lemongrass notes leading to a long, refreshing finish.

Reviews:

• Burghound: A smoky array is comprised by notes of spiced pear, apple compote and a floral hint, all of which is enveloped by soft wood nuances. There is lovely intensity to the rich and relatively refined middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere finale.

• Decanter: Using the same parcel from the same grower, this has been part of the Alex Gambal range since 2005. South and south-east facing on soils that are rich in limestone, the site has produced another excellent wine in 2017, with orange zest and lemongrass notes leading to a long, refreshing finish.

Producer Information

In 1991-1992, I began to explore the possibility of living abroad for a year or two while our children were young. We had become interested in wine and it had become our major avocation. In May 1993, my family and I moved to Burgundy, France to take a year off to work with and help manage a small wine export company based in Beaune, France. Our goal was simply to take a year's sabbatical from Washington but we hoped that if we and the children were content we might stay longer. We moved to a small village of 150 people just outside Beaune, in the center of Burgundy, put the children in French schools, and four years later we looked back on a wonderful experience that changed our lives. FIRST STEPS IN BURGUNDY: When we arrived in 1993 the wine business was in the dumps because of the world recession and a glut of fine wine. As we worked our way through the recession I was able to taste a variety of old, young and great wines with some of the greatest winemakers in the world. In addition, because we lived, worked and had our children in French schools, we were not perceived as tourists and were welcomed into the hidden Burgundy as parents and friends. And thus had a unique and wonderful experience.
