Vincent Dancer Les Perrieres, Meursault Premier Cru, France 2024

‘Les Perrières’ Meursault Premier Cru, Burgundy 2024

A remarkable Premier Cru Chardonnay from Les Perrières, one of Meursault’s most celebrated terroirs. Under Théo Dancer’s direction, the family domaine continues to produce precise, low-intervention white Burgundies that capture the individuality of each vineyard. The 2024 promises to be a standout, opening with lemon oil, white flowers and crisp orchard fruit, followed by crushed herbs, flint and an unmistakable chalky minerality. The palate is tightly focused and beautifully energetic, balancing concentration with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. Organic farming and restrained winemaking allow the stony character of this exceptional vineyard to take center stage. With a promising 96 point barrel sample assessment from Winelens, this is a compelling cellar candidate for serious white Burgundy collectors. Rare, sophisticated and built to reward patience, it showcases the crystalline, mineral-driven side of great Meursault. 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.
