Vincent Dancer La Romanee, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, France 2024

‘La Romanée’ Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, Burgundy 2024

A compelling Premier Cru Chardonnay from Vincent Dancer, one of the Côte de Beaune’s most sought-after small domaines. La Romanée is prized for its combination of generous texture, fine structure and unmistakable mineral character. The 2024 promises a beautifully balanced expression of the vineyard, with aromas of lemon peel, green apple, ripe pear and white flowers layered with subtle beeswax, spice and crushed stone. On the palate, concentration meets vibrant acidity, creating a wine that is both expansive and precise, with a long, chalky finish. Crafted with natural fermentation and a restrained use of oak, it reflects a thoughtful, terroir-first approach to white Burgundy. A serious collector’s bottle from a highly regarded Premier Cru, offering both immediate fascination and the potential to develop greater complexity with cellaring. Vincent Dancer has farmed organically since 2012, and his wines are prized for their purity, energy and understated use of oak. His son Théo has now taken the lead at the estate, continuing its focus on precise, terroir-driven Burgundy.
