Alex Gambal 2009 Chambertin Pinot Noir (Chambertin)
- $335
A big and structured wine, packed with firm, powerful tannins. Smoky wood and a dark brooding character dominate this impressive wine, but there is plenty of sweet fruit underneath all this density, waiting to develop as the wine ages.

Alex Gambal 2009 Clos Vougeot Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
- $190
A powerfully rich wine that shows all the open, generous nature of 2009 reds. It is concentrated, dense, giving firm tannins as well as more fleshy, spicy character. There is wood, but more prominent is the blackberry fruit and superripe fruit tannins.
— R.V.

Alex Gambal 2009 Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
- $150
Typically powerful, very rich in the 2009 vintage, the structure buried in ripe, sweet fruit. Tropical fruits—pineapple and mango—and smoky toast all lead to a finish that is fresh and bright.
— R.V.

Alex Gambal 2009 La Maltroie Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
- $75
A beautifully structured wine, with a great zingy, tangy edge to the citrus and toast flavors. It’s ripe, packed with melon and pear flavors. Impressive.

Alex Gambal 2009 Les Charmes Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)
- Cellar Selection
- $125
Great density here, with firm tannins and big fruit flavors, very generous and opulent, while also structured. The whole wine is suffused with black plum sweetness. It is also ageworthy.

Alex Gambal 2009 Vieilles Vignes Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)

Alex Gambal 2009 Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
- $62
Initially soft, this wine’s real mineral character only comes through slowly. The wine has richness and weight. Very textured, it could age well for 3–4 years.
— R.V.

An elegant wine, typical of Chambolle-Musigny—finely perfumed with red fruits and soft tannins. It is generous, open in character, packed with red fruits.
