Domaine Vincent Dancer Chassagne-Montrachet 2020

This is the domaine's village white, made in the commune where Vincent Dancer has been based since he started in 1996.

Chassagne-Montrachet occupies the southern end of the Côte de Beaune's white heartland and shares Le Montrachet with Puligny. Its village wines come from a wide spread of land on either side of the road and typically give a firmer, more mineral Chardonnay than Meursault at the same level. Vincent Dancer, an engineer by training, took over a handful of family parcels in 1996 at the age of twenty-two and built his cellar the following year; the domaine now runs to around six hectares scattered across Chassagne, Puligny, Meursault, Pommard and Beaune, and his son Théo has been running the day-to-day since the middle of the last decade. He was the first grower in Chassagne to certify organic, in 2012, after farming that way from 2006, and works the premier cru rows with a horse. The cellar work is deliberately quiet: whole-cluster pressing, spontaneous fermentation with no additions, no bâtonnage, ageing in used barrels with little or no new wood, settling in stainless steel and bottling without fining or filtration.

Drink over the next five or six years. Serve at 10-12°C with grilled whiting, chicken terrine or a fresh goat's cheese.
