Vincent Dancer

The wines of Domaine Vincent Dancer, established in 1996 in Chassagne-Montrachet, are a must-buy for any serious Burgundy collector. Vincent's son, Theo Dancer, has now taken over, continuing the family tradition of producing wines that are revered for their freshness and unique complexity. The vineyards have been certified organic since 2012, with new plantings at high density and higher training as well. Vincent Dancer's wines are known for their expressiveness and are a perfect reflection of the terroir they come from.

Theo Dancer's cellar techniques are minimal, using native yeasts, no temperature control, no stems, and no pumping over, preserving the authenticity of the grapes. The whites are known for their textural richness and concentrated flavors, while the reds are equally inspiring, reflecting the diversity of Burgundy. Both red and white wines are consistently among the most characterful and original in the region.

The domaine consists of 5 hectares of vineyards spread between Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, and Beaune. The Dancer's focus on low yields and precise harvesting dates, along with his non-interventionist approach in the cellar, results in wines that are truly exceptional. The aging process in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, followed by bottling without prior fining or filtration, further enhances the wines' unique qualities.

Notable wines include the textural and mineral Meursault Perrières, the incisively fresh Chassagne-Montrachet Tête-du-Clos, and the ultra-rare Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, produced in tiny quantities. Each cuvée is a testament to Vincent Dancer's commitment to perfection and high standards. Dancer's wines are not only distinctive in style but also delicious and worth seeking out for any Burgundy collector. With the transition to Theo Dancer, the legacy of exceptional winemaking at Domaine Vincent Dancer continues to flourish.
