Theo Dancer Bourgogne Aligote 2022
Vineyards
Burgundy, France
Winemaking and Maturation
Everything under the Theo Dancer labels is done with a focus on low extraction and early picking. The wines are focused and precise. Likewise, minimal intervention techniques such as natural primary and malolactic fermentations, neutral vessels for ageing and very low sulphur additions, are all part of the DNA of these personal wines.
Vinification in used 456L barrels, not temp controlled, no pumping over.
Both the Theo Dancer and Roc Breïa wines are labelled as Vin de France. They are brought back and vinified in the family cellars in Chassagne.
Tasting Notes
From 2022, Dancer has started working with old vine Aligoté from Meursault, and the quality has gone through the roof. It’s made in the same way as the Vincent Dancer whites. Crafted using large-format barrel over winter before resting in vat before bottling. As for the wine, it is delicious. Pulpy and generous, yet with a long, racy close. There’s more depth and intensity this time around, not just from the quality of the year but also the more powerful terroir.
