Domaine Vincent Dancer Hautes-Côtes Blanc 2023

Terroir-Driven Wines With Remarkable Energy, Length, and Texture

“From vines planted in 2019, 2020 and 2021 with high-quality selections of Chardonnay, Dancer's 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc delivers aromas of pear, white flowers and fresh mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate with good texture and cut, concluding with a gently aromatic finish.” – Wine Advocate, 90 points

Crafted from young vines planted in 2019, 2020, and 2021, this cuvée represents a vibrant new chapter for Vincent Dancer, bringing his signature precision and restraint to the elevated terroirs of the Hautes-Côtes. The wine opens with delicate yet vivid aromas of pear, white flowers, and a cool note of fresh mint. The palate is medium to full-bodied, satiny in texture yet incisive in structure, with excellent mineral tension and purity. The finish is aromatic and lingering, offering freshness and clarity that speak to the cool exposure and high-altitude origins of this site.

This wine shines when paired with pan-seared sea bass dressed in herb butter, or a soft goat cheese drizzled lightly with honey. Its textural elegance and mineral precision make it a versatile companion for both refined seafood and subtly sweet or herbal pairings.

About The Winery

Vincent Dancer grew up in Alsace, where he inherited a love of wine and photography from his father. After studying engineering, his father suggested that Vincent spend some time in Burgundy, where the family owned some vines. Dancer was immediately hooked and decided to settle in Chassagne-Montrachet to make wine from the almost 6 hectares of well-situated vineyards. For more than two decades, the Domaine has been making terroir-driven wines with remarkable energy, length, and texture.

Dancer was a forward-thinking pioneer: he was the first producer in Chassagne-Montrachet to receive organic certification (2012). Although this practice is more common today, he remains one of the few. His farming style is transparent and honest, allowing the vines to speak for themselves. At 2016 Dancer was joined by his son, Théo. With Théo taking over, this philosophy will not change. His focus is not on altering the cellar work but on continually improving the vineyards. He follows his father's methods, something clearly reflected in the wines he makes from Roc Breia and under the Théo Dancer label in the Jura.

In the cellar, the approach is straightforward. The wines are pressed and then fermented with indigenous yeasts. They are aged in barrel, with 20–50% new oak depending on the vintage and cuvée. There is no bâtonnage. The wines are then transferred to stainless steel tanks to settle for a few months before bottling, which is done without fining or filtration. Only a small amount of sulphur is added before bottling.

Vincent Dancer manages vineyard holdings across Beaune, Pommard, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet.
