Harvesting Time in a Bottle

Carolina Alumni Review

Just outside the fortified walls in Beaune,
France, on a bustling boulevard that rings the
medieval city’s center, stands an imposing white
stone building with red block letters: Alex Gambal.
A simple sign over the entrance reveals
more: Alex Gambal, Vins Fins de Bourgogne.
Inside, Alex Gambal ’79 is indeed crafting
fine wines from Burgundy, garnering praise from
critics and connoisseurs far and wide. Not bad
for an American who, in the heart of one of
France’s — and the world’s — most prestigious
wine-producing regions, corked his first bottle
only a decade ago.
