Vincent Dancer Pommard Perrieres 2018

Vincent Dancer Pommard Perrières 2018 is a refined expression of Côte de Beaune terroir, crafted from carefully selected grapes from the single, named lieu-dit ‘Perrières’. This is a serious Burgundy red with depth, structure and an elegant, modern touch, aged for at least 18 months in oak barrels. Combining the power typical of Pommard with Dancer’s precision and purity of fruit, it offers a compelling option for collectors and Burgundy lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, radiant ruby-red color with bright, shimmering highlights that hint at both concentration and freshness. On the nose, it unfolds with layered aromas of ripe red and dark berries—think black cherry, wild strawberry and blackberry—interwoven with delicate oak tones, subtle toast, and nuances of sweet spices such as clove and baking spice, alongside a gentle earthy-mineral undertone. The palate is full-bodied and expansive yet finely balanced, with a core of juicy, crystalline fruit wrapped in silky but firm tannins. The berry notes are supported by hints of forest floor, a touch of spice and well-integrated oak, leading into a savory, subtly saline finish that lingers impressively long. The structure and freshness suggest excellent aging potential; this 2018 should evolve gracefully over 8–15 years from vintage, gaining complexity, tertiary notes and even more harmony with time.

Production
The grapes for this Pommard Perrières come from a single, named parcel in the famed Côte de Beaune, where well-drained, stony soils rich in limestone and clay help give the wine its intensity, mineral backbone and finesse. The fruit is carefully selected in the vineyard, typically harvested by hand to ensure only the healthiest, ripest bunches make it to the cellar. In the winery, Vincent Dancer follows a precise, quality-driven approach: gentle handling of the grapes, controlled fermentation to preserve purity and detail, and maturation in French oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. The use of oak is measured, aiming for texture and complexity rather than overt woodiness, allowing the character of the Perrières terroir to take center stage.

Food & Serving
This Pommard Perrières 2018 pairs beautifully with refined yet flavorful dishes: roasted duck breast, veal chops, lamb racks with herbs, or classic Burgundian cuisine such as boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin. It also complements game birds, mushroom-based dishes and mature, cow’s milk cheeses. Serve at around 15–17°C (59–63°F) to highlight its aromatic complexity and balance. Decanting for 45–60 minutes in its youth will help the wine open up and soften the tannins; more mature bottles may need a gentler, shorter decant just to separate the wine from any sediment.

Producer
Domaine Vincent Dancer, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, has gained a strong reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts for its precise, terroir-driven wines and meticulous, low-intervention approach.

Working with prized parcels across the Côte de Beaune, including this Pommard Perrières, Vincent Dancer has become a sought-after name on the fine wine market, with his limited-production bottles increasingly coveted by collectors and sommeliers around the world.
