Roc Breïa Pinot Noir 1.5L MAGNUM 2023

Roc Breïa Pinot Noir is Vincent Dancer's Mâconnais red, bottled in magnum and made in the same minimal way as his Côte d'Or wines.

The Mâconnais is far better known for Chardonnay, but it is still Burgundy, with the same clay-limestone soils, and Pinot Noir has a long history there. The Roc Breïa vines were planted between 1970 and 1985, a touch younger than the estate's Chardonnay. Fermentation uses about 50 per cent whole bunches, and the wine is then raised in used 500-litre barrels. Dancer makes a strict barrel selection, setting aside anything that does not meet the mark before the final blend is assembled. The approach is the same earth-to-glass method used for the wines under the Vincent Dancer label: no added yeast, very low sulphur and no filtration. The result is a pure, finely tannic Pinot Noir with real length, and it responds well to air.

Drinking now and holding for five to eight years, more in this format. Decant, serve at 16-18°C, and pour with quail, roast pork or a mushroom tart.
