2005 Vincent Dancer, “Les Corbins”, Burgundy, France

Vincent Dancer is a young upcoming winemaker in Burgundy and famous for his Meursault`s, especially his TOP-Meursault “Les Perrières”. His production is very small but the berlin wineshop Wein&Glas has a good selection of his wines.
I have to confess that I was very excited to taste this wine, as my Burgundy-knowledge is almost zero due to the fact that the wines are such expensive, also Burgundy is so fragmented with its parcels and therefore difficult to understand.
Here we have a wonderful precise Meursault with flavors of hazelnut, lime, flowers, butterscotch and a very noble frame. Very reserved at the moment and needs 4-5 years to show its true quality. Thankfully not a butter-vanilla bomb, instead an elegant, slim version. Fascinating wine...... a wine you have to be engaged for the whole night, as this Meursault presents new layers after every sip. Very fair price for 30 Euro. Finally, you have to visit the great photo-blog of the winemaker: http://www.vincentdancer.com/
