Alex Gambal, Beaune 1er Cru (Burgundy, France) Les Grèves 2011

($45): The Gambal team, led by winemaker Geraldine Godot who joined Gambal in 2009, has captured the “flavor without weight” character of red Burgundy with this elegant Beaune Grèves.  Its lacey delicacy belies its impact and persistence.  A firm underpinning gives it support and structure.  Lovely now, it would be a fine choice with a roast chicken and sautéed mushrooms.
