Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot is the first crop that Dancer will bottle from this parcel, planted in 2012. Displaying notes of honeyed pears, beeswax and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and voluptuous, with a pure, charmingly open-knit profile. This will be a delicious candidate for near-term consumption, though I expect this cuvée to gain in seriousness as the vines mature.
About the Producer
Vincent Dancer cultivates 6 hectares of land across Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Pommard and Beaune, family vines that he took up in 1996 after his oenology training. He got things going on his own at the family property, where he went on to build a winery in 1997. Since 2012, his vines have had organic certification. Vincent Dancer has shown himself to be talented and creative in his work, particularly succeeding in the maturation of his cuvées. His wines are remarkable, characterised by their purity and finesse.
