Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru Domaine Dancer Vincent, 2016

Chevalier-Montrachet is one of Burgundy’s most revered Grand Cru whites, and this 2016 bottling from Domaine Vincent Dancer showcases the elegance and precision that make Chardonnay from this site so sought after. Produced in very limited quantities, it combines remarkable finesse with intensity, offering a true reference point for collectors and enthusiasts of fine white Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a bright, luminous golden color with exceptional clarity. The nose typically opens with layered aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, and subtle mineral notes, often followed by hints of hazelnut, spice, and a delicate smoky reduction characteristic of top-tier Burgundy. On the palate, Chevalier-Montrachet is known for its striking balance of richness and tension: concentrated fruit, silky texture, precise acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The 2016 vintage suggests excellent aging potential, with the wine likely to evolve gracefully over many years, gaining complexity, depth, and a more pronounced nutty, honeyed character with bottle age.

Production
Chevalier-Montrachet lies on the upper slope of the Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils and excellent drainage create ideal conditions for world-class Chardonnay. Domaine Vincent Dancer is known for careful vineyard work and restrained winemaking, typically focused on preserving purity and site expression. Fruit is generally harvested by hand, sorted meticulously, and vinified with a minimalist approach to highlight terroir, balance, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined cuisine: lobster, turbot, scallops, roast chicken with morels, or dishes with butter, cream, and subtle truffle notes all work beautifully. Serve at around 11–13°C, and consider a brief decant if the wine is very youthful or closed, though older bottles should be handled more gently and decanted only if needed.

Producer
Domaine Vincent Dancer is a highly regarded estate in Burgundy, respected for its precision, low-intervention philosophy, and excellent Chardonnay bottlings across some of the region’s most distinguished terroirs. The domaine has built a strong reputation among Burgundy lovers for producing wines of clarity, tension, and outstanding aging capacity, with Grand Cru releases that are especially prized by collectors.
