Vincent Dancer Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc 2023

Tasting Notes

This 2023 from Vincent Dancer in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune opens with elegant aromas of pear, white-flower blossom and a subtle twist of fresh mint. On the palate it shows mid-to-full body with satin-like texture, precise acidity, and a clean mineral under-current. There’s just enough oak presence to support but not dominate, finishing with a quietly lingering herbal-tinged note and bright delineation of fruit.

Why It’s Special

• It offers a serious step into the Dancer style at a “value-level” appellation: you’re getting the , vineyard philosophy and winemaking integrity of a top Côte de Beaune grower in a cool hillside terroir.

• The vineyards are higher altitude, planted 2019-21, trained densly, and farmed organically—giving this wine both freshness and structural lift.

• For your clientele who know Chardonnay and crave terroir-expression without ultra-luxury pricing, this fills the sweet spot: elevated, stylish, thoughtfully made, and ready to drink (or hold for a few years).

• Great story too: the estate’s transition under younger generation and the push for regenerative/agro-forestry work adds a narrative that resonates with wine lovers looking for authenticity.

About the Producer

Vincent Dancer is one of Burgundy’s grower names worth your shelf space. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, the estate is certified organic and renowned for its rigorous vineyard work, low intervention winemaking and focus on letting terroir speak. The Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc is not from the prestige climats of Chassagne or Meursault, but the same philosophical commitment applies—high quality, organic/low-yield vines, native yeasts, minimal filtration-fining, precise élevage. Under Vincent and his son Theo, the estate has become a go-to for collectors and serious lovers of Burgundy whites alike.
