This week’s drop features Vincent Dancer Meursault Perrières Premier Cru 2024, a Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most admired vineyards and from one of the most exciting families in the region right now.
During the livestream, Rodolfo and I talked about why the Dancer family has become such a big deal in Burgundy. Vincent built the domaine’s reputation around incredibly pure, terroir-driven wines. Now his son Théo Dancer, still in his twenties, is carrying the torch and is already considered one of the rising stars of Burgundy’s new generation.
Think of the names shaping Burgundy’s “new wave”: Charles Lachaux, Pierre Girardin… and Théo Dancer right alongside them.
We also talked about why white Burgundy at this level can be a mind-blowing experience. Chardonnay grows all over the world, but in Burgundy it’s all about place. Small vineyard plots, obsessive attention to terroir, and a style built around balance, acidity, and what wine people love to call “tension.”
When everything comes together: fruit, acidity, minerality, and length, the wine feels like a full orchestra playing in harmony. And that’s exactly what wines from Meursault Perrières are famous for.
Another reason this drop is special? Scarcity.
The parcel behind this wine is tiny, and production is extremely limited. When bottles like this hit the market, they tend to move quickly.
And as always, provenance matters. Burgundy’s secondary market can be a bit of a minefield, which is exactly why every bottle released through dVIN comes with verified sourcing and full chain-of-custody from vineyard to cellar, through our dVIN Protocol.
