The name Vincent Dancer should ring a bell if you are a lover of white burgundy. If it doesn't that's okay, but it is true that the wines have always ended up in few places and few cellars. When we think of white burgundy recently there are two camps. The classic with maybe a bit more weight, concentration, etc. such as the wines of Leflaive and Ramonet for example. Then there is the new wave, who seem to be pushing reduction to its limit. I have always believed that Vincent Dancer has found the perfect harmony. It isn't often that all wines in the range are treated the same way from ferment to aging vessels. Combined with the vineyard work and winemaking choices, Dancer has been putting out some of the most transparent wines that truly show their sense of place to their respective vineyards. Theo, Vincent's son, has been working with his father at the Domaine and in recent vintages has pretty much fully taken the reins. Aside from taking over the Domaine and continuing the work his father has taught him, Theo has started his own project as well. The labels really speak to the ethos. When you see the label, you think of Vincent Dancer, they honor the tradition of the philosophies in the cellar, simply because it works. However, the labels are also a bit different, showing innovation.Which is just what Theo is doing.

Theo is working with not just your traditional grape varietals. Incorporating grapes like Savagnin and Pinot Gris and making them Burgundy. Don't worry he is still making some classic varietals like Aligoté and Gamay. When tasting the wines you feel the soul of Dancer's transparency along with the energy of a 23-year-old, talented winemaker.
