The nose is balanced and rounded with tones of red apples, quince, lemon meringue, Bosc pears, nectarines, orange blossoms, and a touch of toast. This is all playing so well together already, though it is a touch reserved. The Medium bodied feel shows off the balance of the nose with good weight and texture while possessing crisp, medium+ acidity that shows off good integration. This is lovely and just excellent. It shows off a rounder quality to the nose and palate while still showing good balance across both as well.
The nose is fragrant and balanced with tones of vanilla beans, pears, apples, nectarines, peach blossoms, and some elderflower notes. The Medium bodied feel shows off the balance of the nose with tart, medium+ acidity that persists. This is very good and shows off good balance and depth across the nose and palate. A few years could round it into form a little better, but it’s pretty easy drinking right now.
Okay, so Theo Dancer does Savagnin too. Pretty cool! The nose is aromatic and salty with tones of limes, red apples, nectarines, lemon peels, toast, nutty tones, crushed rocks, river stones, and saline. There is good depth and tension that draws you in. The Medium bodied feel is vibrant and fresh with mouthwatering, medium+ acidity that has some noticeable bite. This is a whole lot of fun and is really good! I don’t profess to have a ton of experience with Savagnin, but I do dig this and would love to see how this develops.
The nose is balanced and deft with tones of lemon peels, stone fruits, peaches, white fruits, flint, saline, and white flowers. There is a demure and pretty quality to this that is alluring. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and vibrant with refreshing, medium+ acidity that is zesty and mouthwatering. This is friendly and fresh with it leaning more into a spring-like and pretty side than one with power.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
The nose is tension-filled and fragrant with tones of flint, limes, Meyer lemons, apples, pears, white fruits, vanilla beans, some nutty notes, and spring flowers. This is open-knit and aromatic, but it does show village-level depth. The Medium bodied feel is deft and balanced with racy, medium+ acidity that persists. This shows off the tension of the nose with a youthful verve to it. This does feel like it could use a few more years to come together and blossom.

The nose is a touch reserved, but balanced and refined with tones of Meyer lemons, apples, pears, nectarines, navel oranges, crushed rocks, saline, white flowers, and jasmine. There is good depth here that shows off even with it being a bit more tightly wound. The Medium bodied feel is deft and textured with excellent poise along with racy, medium+ acidity that is vibrant and refreshing. The acidity has some bite that shows off its youth. This definitely can improve with some aging. It is holding back at the moment, but I can certainly see 4+ years really benefitting it and it showing off a lot of improvement.
There is a crunchy quality to the nose that is fresh, yet with Pommard robustness to the tones of red cherries, sour red berries, fresh herbs, crushed rocks, baking spices, violets, wild flowers, and some earth notes. There is good depth while this shows off a lot of youthful exuberance. The Medium bodied feel is fresh and balanced with tart, medium+ acidity and silky, medium+ tannins that have some sneakiness on the back end. This can certainly use a few years to let itself shine. The fruit is vibrantly and fresh while still having some weight behind it.
The nose is lifted and fresh with lovely tones of red berries, red fruits, red cherries, rose petals, heady floral notes, potpourri, violets, and some crushed rocks. There is a lovely take to the tones with an open-knit vibrancy as well. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and deft with tart, medium+ acidity that is mouthwatering and silky, medium tannins. This is really pretty and a puppy dog. While I don’t see it as being a long-aging wine, a few years for it to settle into itself and it can really blossom from there.
The nose is expressive and fragrant with tones of strawberries, red cherries, crushed berries, lavender, violets, licorice, and spice notes. This shows off good depth while leaning well into the red spectrum. The Medium bodied feel shows off the expressive nature of the nose along with crisp, medium+ acidity and silky, medium tannins. This is lovely and expressive with a red-fruited freshness across the nose and palate. It’s drinking really well already, but I can also see it integrating well with a few more years of aging.
