Type: Red

This limited-production red Burgundy is a pure pinot noir crafted by Théo Dancer at his family's estate in Chassagne-Montrachet. The fruit represents a select row harvesting from the top slope of a vineyard plot planted recently in 2019. The winemaking follows strict low-intervention guidelines, featuring a one-hundred percent destemmed fruit profile and a spontaneous native yeast fermentation. The liquid matures for twelve months in seasoned French oak barrels, with only eight-hundred and fifty bottles produced.

It pours a translucent ruby color, opening with clean aromatics of wild strawberry, red cherry, and fresh floral notes. A light-bodied, fine-boned frame pairs a bright red fruit profile with a precise and juicy mouthfeel. Soft, delicate tannins provide an understated structural grip across the mid-palate without introducing heavy wood tones. An energetic thread of alpine acidity runs through the center, keeping the texture refreshed. It concludes with a clean, dry, and pretty persistent finish.

Winery

Vincent Dancer is one of the cult names of Chassagne-Montrachet, admired for white Burgundies that feel pure, unforced and intensely connected to limestone. Originally from Alsace, Dancer took over family vineyards in Chassagne, Meursault, Puligny and other Cote de Beaune villages, choosing organic farming and a cellar style that avoids unnecessary intervention. The wines are fermented with native yeasts, raised with restraint and bottled with a sense of quiet confidence. They are not flashy; they are luminous, textural and precise, showing Chardonnay as a conductor of site rather than a vehicle for oak or richness.
