Domaine Vincent Dancer Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 2023

Dancer holds 0.29 hectares on the northern side of Les Perrières-Dessous, next door to the vines of Lafon and Roulot.

Les Perrières is widely held to be the finest of Meursault's Premiers Crus and a Grand Cru in all but name, its limestone-rubble soils giving wines that combine power with a stony, mineral core. The Dancer parcel lies in the lower, Dessous sector on the northern side, drawn mainly from vines planted in 1963 with a further section from the late 1970s. Vincent Dancer built his reputation on precise, low-intervention white winemaking: whole-bunch pressing, natural fermentation, restrained use of new oak and long élevage on lees, an approach that lets a site like this speak plainly. Yields are kept low across the estate. The bottling is consistently an exercise in power held in check by precision, and quantities are always limited.

Best given five years and drunk over the following fifteen. Serve at 10-12°C with roast chicken, scallops or a mature comté.
