Theo Dancer Roc Breia Pinot Noir 2021

Roc Breïa is run by the driven and ambitious Théo Dancer, now also the main man at Domaine Vincent Dancer. Like his father before him, Théo studied at Lycée Viticole de Beaune while working with his father part-time. He joined the domaine full-time in 2021 and is already making a significant impact. In addition to his work with his father, Théo has this exciting new project in the Mâconnais (Roc Breïa) and has also started his own eponymous micro-négoce, sourcing fruit from several exciting vineyards across northern France. He is a talented young man, in a hurry.

In 2021, Théo was invited to visit a mature vineyard in the Bray district of the Mâconnais. The vineyard had recently been purchased by two investors, one of whom was the courtier who used to sell the vineyard’s crop in the past. The vineyard (pictured above) is a 10-hectare block on a limestone slope. Dancer immediately saw the potential and agreed to manage the project, but only on the condition that he would control the whole affair. The name of the new project is Roc Breïa.

Raspberry, wild strawberry, rose, spice, and fine earthy tannins. Elegant, silky, and aromatic.
2021 was a low-yield, concentrated vintage producing precise, structured, terroir-driven wines.
