Chassagne Montrachet

Very elegant wine with a subdued aroma. Here we find white flowers and yellow fruit as well as a refined wood tone. The same aromas return in the taste and here the fine acids give a nice tension.

The winemaker

Winemaker	Country	Region
Domaine Vincent Dancer	France	Bourgogne - Côte de Beaune

About the winemaker Vincent Dancer can be counted among the latest generation of hard working top producers in the Côte de Beaune. Born in Alsace, he started his domain in 1996 with vineyards that were in the family. We met Vincent in 2004 and immediately noticed that he is full of passion and only goes for the highest quality. When we speak to him, we are reminded of Gianfranco Soldera. Vincent is humble, passionate and has a great philosophy and vision. Like us, he believes that there is too much monoculture in many wine-growing areas and that there is too much and too often human intervention in nature. His new vineyards high above the village of Pommard show what his vision is. Here there is biodiversity, a vineyard where trees and vines grow in harmony with each other and where work is done entirely organically. Vincent thinks about everything and this is something you notice immediately when you first get to know him. The words modest, passionate, determined and conscientious characterize the person Vincent Dancer.

Details

Vineyard	The two youngest lieu-dits in terms of planting form the basis of this honest and impressive Chassagne. They are the unknown lieu-dits Voillenots Dessus and Bergerie; vines planted in 1999 and 2001. The fact that Vincent has been working completely organically since 2004, has not filtered his wines since 2006 and the passion of this young winemaker guarantees Chassagne of the highest level.
Vinification	Classic white wine with aging in barriques. Vincent chooses to have a mix of new and used oak from different tonneliers in order to avoid a signature of the tonnelier. Wine must taste like the vintage and the use of sulphite is avoided as much as possible.

Oak aging	Yes
Ageing potential	10 years and more after harvest
Alcohol percentage	13.5%
Closure	Natural cork
