Reviews 92 points Wine Advocate "The 2022 Chardonnay has turned out beautifully, bursting with aromas of pear, white flowers, bread dough and hazelnuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate with a satiny attack that segues into a charming, lively mid-palate, with good cut and a saline finish. Dancer sold off two-thirds of his crop in 2021, but the quality of his raw materials in 2022 should permit a less draconian selection. (WK)"

Theo Dancer, an innovative young winemaker, has been making a name for himself in the Burgundy wine scene, while still preserving the traditions and practices that have proven successful. Having already established himself with his eponymous Theo Dancer and Domaine Vincent Dancer wines, Theo is now embarking on an exciting new venture - the Roc Breia project.
Located on a 10.5-hectare plot in Macon, Roc Breia offers Theo a unique opportunity to cultivate a vineyard from scratch. The site was previously farmed conventionally, and Theo describes it as lacking life when he first saw it. Undaunted by this challenge, Theo embraces the chance to apply the farming techniques he learned from his father and breathe new life into the vineyard.
In contrast to the traditional Côte d'Or domaines that produce numerous cuvées, Theo has chosen to keep things simple at Roc Breia, focusing on just two wines: a Chardonnay made from 60+ year old vines and a Pinot Noir made from 35+ year old vines. This simplicity allows Theo to dedicate his full attention to nurturing these vines and creating exceptional wines.
The inaugural wines of Roc Breia are as follows:
Roc Breïa Chardonnay - This Chardonnay is a blend of vineyards from 1944, 1945, 1976, and 1977. It is fermented and aged in large used barrels ranging from 350 to 500 liters, with 6000 bottles produced.
Roc Breïa Pinot Noir - This Pinot Noir is a blend of vineyards from the 1970s to 1985. It is fermented and aged in large 500-liter used barrels, with 4000 bottles produced.
As Theo Dancer continues to evolve and grow as a winemaker, his Roc Breia project showcases his eagerness to learn and innovate, while still honoring the time-tested techniques passed down from previous generations. With such passion and dedication, there is no doubt that the wines of Roc Breia will make a significant mark on the Burgundy wine landscape.

In Stock orders going out via Local Same Day placed before 2pm (pst) on business days will go out the same day. Weather permitting, In Stock orders going out via FedEx, Climate Controlled Ground and Temperature Controlled typically ship within 1-2 business days unless requested otherwise. We always do what we can to make sure your order won’t spend the weekend in a non-temperature controlled logistics hub and in order to facilitate this, we may hold your order for shipment the following week unless you tell us not to.
We do not fulfill partial orders by default, so if your order contains a combination of In Stock and In Transit/Pre Arrival items, we'll automatically hold the In Stock items until everything is ready. If you wish to receive your In Stock items in advance of your In Transit and/or Pre Arrival items, we do ask that you place two separate orders. If you forget to place two separate orders, but still want to receive your In Stock items first, please send us an email at team@sommpicks.com and we’ll take care of it for you.
