2016 Vincent Dancer La Romanée: Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru
The 2016 Vincent Dancer Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée is an exceptional white Burgundy from one of the most highly regarded villages in the Côte de Beaune. La Romanée is a Premier Cru terroir within Chassagne-Montrachet where Chardonnay grapes can produce wines with concentration, refinement, and a distinct mineral structure.
Vincent Dancer works with small plots and limited production and has built a strong reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts. This 2016 vintage has now spent about ten years aging in the bottle. As a result, the wine is in an interesting phase where ripe fruit, minerality, and more complex aging notes come together.
Aroma & taste
Layered aromas of citrus, ripe apple, pear, and white stone fruit are complemented by floral, spicy, and mineral notes. Bottle aging can bring out more complex notes of hazelnut, brioche, and dried citrus. The palate is concentrated and refined, with crisp acidity, a lovely texture, and a long, mineral finish.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at around 11–13°C in large white wine glasses. Excellent with lobster, scallops, turbot, sole, refined fish dishes, poultry, veal, and dishes with a delicate butter or cream sauce.
The story behind the bottle
Vincent Dancer settled in Chassagne-Montrachet and built a small estate there with vineyards in several important appellations of the Côte de Beaune. His wines are produced in limited quantities and are known for their expression of terroir, vibrancy, and refined style. La Romanée is one of the Premier Cru vineyards of Chassagne-Montrachet.
