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 vineyard that overlooks the old road to Beaune is the second largest climat, is an extension of the premier cru Goutte d'Or and has its own character. The soil here is rich in minerals and these give the wine its own personality. The vines are quite old, namely planted in 1968 and because of this they give quite concentrated fruit. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | Classic white wine with aging in barriques. Since the 2019 vintage, only used barrels are used. These come from different tonneliers in order to avoid a signature of the tonnelier. Wine must taste according to the vintage and there is no intervention during the vinification, the fermentation sometimes takes several months. There is no filtering, only minimal sulphite is added before bottling. |
| Oak aging | Yes |
| Ageing potential | 10 years and more after harvest |
| Alcohol percentage | 13.5% |
| Closure | Natural cork |
