This Burgundy white is an estate chardonnay sourced from high-altitude plots within the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. The fruit is selected from young vines planted between 2019 and 2021 with high-quality massal selections of chardonnay. Vinification utilizes a low-intervention spontaneous fermentation with native wild vineyard yeasts inside large neutral French oak barrels, avoiding chemical corrections.

 It pours a pale lemon color with greenish reflections. Bright aromatics of lemon peel, green apple, white spring flowers, and crushed limestone lift from the glass. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied and racy, built around a piercing beam of natural acidity and a saline mineral grip. Subtle leesy contact adds a supple cushion to the mid-palate without softening the wine's sharp, electric structure. It finishes long and mouthwatering with lime zest and wet stone.

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.
