Good To Know: Domaine Vincent Dancer is a small, family-run estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, established in 1996 by Vincent Dancer, an Alsatian-born engineer who turned to winemaking. Starting with just a few hectares of inherited vineyards, the domaine has since expanded to about six hectares, including parcels in Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Pommard, and Beaune. Dancer was the first grower in Chassagne to achieve organic certification, which he obtained in 2012, and his winemaking philosophy is rooted in minimal intervention—favoring hand harvesting, indigenous yeast fermentation, no bâtonnage, and bottling without fining or filtration. His son Théo now works alongside him, continuing the focus on producing wines that reflect the purity and character of their terroir. Domaine Vincent Dancer is especially known for its crystalline, precise white Burgundies, ranging from Bourgogne Blanc to Premier and Grand Cru expressions like Meursault Perrières and Chevalier-Montrachet. With a small production and strong cult following, the wines are highly allocated and sought after for their elegance, structure, and authenticity.

The 2022 Vincent Dancer Bourgogne Chardonnay is an organically farmed, small-production white wine crafted from parcels in Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Made with indigenous yeasts and aged for about 17 months—mostly in neutral oak and then in stainless steel—it is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its purity. The wine offers a vibrant and mineral-driven profile, with notes of citrus, green apple, and subtle flint, balanced by a lean yet textured palate. Known for his elegant, terroir-expressive style, Vincent Dancer delivers a Bourgogne Blanc that overdelivers in finesse and clarity, making it a favorite among fans of naturally made, understated white Burgundy.
